HISTORY
top
Prior to 1901, the spiritual needs
of the community were met under the direction of the Rev.
Albert Balgooyen, a young Methodist minister. Since there
was no church building proper, services were conducted in
private homes.
The present church property was donated
by the Charcoal Iron Company at the turn of the century.
The Methodist Episcopal Church of McMillan was organized
in 1901. The building was erected in 1908 with the Rev.
D. C. Nye as pastor.
The church has been meeting the spiritual
needs of the community since then. In 1978 an education/fellowship
hall was added to the church building. By 1983, church membership
was 20. Sunday School attendance was in the 18-20 range
and the United Methodist Women had a membership of 12.
The congregation celebrated their
75th anniversary July 10, 1983 with an anniversary sermon
presented by Bishop Edsel Ammons.
Since 1900 there have been 38 pastors
serving the church.
The congregation is well known for
its support of the community. Anyone in need is offered
assistance. Funeral dinners are made available for the entire
community where the family is involved with the church or
not.
Because the community is so supportive
of the church, fundraiser activities work very well for
the McMillan church. Whenever the budget seems a little
bit short, another fish fry is scheduled and the community
is there. The McMillan United Methodist Church expects to
be a mainstay in the McMillan community for a good many
years.
