Our Beginnings

Faith United Methodist Church began in 1991 when Grace United Methodist Church and Mulberry Center United Methodist Church combined and  moved to the current location.  Along with a new building, the two churches merged their rich heritages and developed a common goal.  The goal was to find value in each person as one of God’s creations. It was our goal that each person develops a deep relationship with God and other Christian believers on their journey of faith.

Both churches began as United Brethren Churches.  In 1887 United Brethren Classes were organized at the Mulberry Center School, White Fox School and at Saratoga in Hamilton County.  Throughout the first century both churches have gone through many changes.  The buildings had numerous renovations and additions.  They had been part of three denominations: The United Brethren in Christ, in 1946 the Evangelical United Brethren and in 1946 the United Methodist Church.  Both congregations had been part of the same charge since the beginning and had shared the same Pastoral leadership.  Both had active church school programs, adult fellowship groups, youth groups and music programs.
