History of Methodism in Jersey Shore

First United Methodist Church 
 
The following history of Methodism, the First Methodist Church and the first United Methodist Church in Jersey Shore is taken from First Church, 1976 written and researched by Marilyn D. Wehler using additional information from the Anniversary Booklet written in 1930 by Reverend Charles A. Sauter; the Service of Consecration written by Reverend Donald R. Hurley; and from Pastoral reports, Administrative Board minutes and Trustees' minutes.

I hope you enjoy reading these brief facts as much as I have enjoyed incorporating them into this site. The history is broken into various years to keep the pages shorter for faster loading times.
