Portland United Methodist Church 
About Our Church

Our congregation is one among 39,000 United Methodist Churches located in the USA, with 10 million members nationwide.  Through the World Methodist Council located in Lake Junaluska, NC, the United Methodist Church is linked into a world-wide communion of nearly 40 million Christians.

Methodism first arrived in the Portland area when itinerant Methodist preachers evangelized among the Indians.  Then in 1834 the first white settler came.  He was a Methodist and Methodism has continued here ever since.  In 1838 there were enough people to organize a class.  The first pastor, Rev. Larmon Chatfield, was appointed here in 1838.

The white frame church built in 1877 was hit by lightning in 1912 and burned to the ground.  The present church was built in 1914 with the addition of the educational wing in 1964.
