History: Methodists built first church in Columbia in 1801 From the CUMC Newsletter, courtesy Doug Beard The Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) was the oldest and largest Methodist denomination in the United States from its founding in 1784 until 1939. It was also the first religious denomination in the US to organize itself nationally. In 1939, the MEC reunited with two breakaway Methodist denominations (the Methodist Protestant Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South) to form the Methodist Church. In 1968, the Methodist Church merged with the Evangelical United Brethren Church to form the United Methodist Church. The Methodist Episcopal Church originated from the spread of Methodism outside of England to the Thirteen Colonies in the 1760s. Earlier, Methodism had grown out of the ministry of John Wesley, a priest in the Church of England (also known as the Anglican Church) who preached an evangelical message centered on justification by faith, repentance, the possibility of having assurance of salvation, and the doctrine of Christian perfection. Methodists built the first church in Columbia, Kentucky, in 1801. It was located on Guardian Street just a few paces from the present Columbia United Methodist Church. It's quite possible that Bishop Asbury visited that church. Asbury was sent to south-central United States by John Wesley, and he is known to have visited many churches in this part of our country. The church also served as a school in the 1850s and served as a shelter for Union soldiers during the Civil War (1861-1865). The congregation sold the property in 1872 and purchased the property on Burkesville Street where the present church sits and built a church there in 1872. The present church was built the 1960s.
