The Montpelier First United Brethren Church is a historical name for a church in Montpelier, Ohio, which eventually became the First United Methodist Church after a denominational split and merger. The church began in the 1830s and built its first house of worship in 1853.
History of the Church
Early Beginnings:
The Montpelier United Brethren in Christ congregation was organized in the 1830s, predating the village's formal survey in 1845.
The Split:
In 1889, the United Brethren denomination split into "radical" and "liberal" factions.
Liberal Faction:
The liberal faction eventually merged with Methodists, becoming the First United Methodist Church.
Radical Faction:
The radical faction became the Central United Brethren Church, with their own building dedicated in 1893.
Original Building:
The historic brick structure on Empire and Jefferson streets, dedicated in 1894 by the liberal United Brethren (now First United Methodist), served the community for many years.
Recent History:
The building was occupied by the First Church of the Nazarene from 1963 to 1994 and then by the House of Prayer from 1994 to 2009.
