We are a United Methodist congregation, but our roots are actually in the United Brethren in Christ. Early records
have been lost, so the history is a little unclear. As far as we can tell, the church was started in the 1800's by the
Oller Brothers and the original church building was located 1 mile south of Bellpoint on the east side of the Scioto River.
The sanctuary we now occupy was begun in 1872 and completed in 1873 for a cost of $2600.00.
In the earlier part of the last century the U.B. Church merged with The Evangelical Church to form The Evangelical United
Brethren Church and in 1968, The EUB Church merged with The Methodist Church to create The United Methodist Church.
The church has had a very strong presence in Delaware County and has made various additions over the years. Currently,
we are exploring building a brand new facility just south of the this current location, to better meet the growing needs of
our church and community.
We invite you to become a part of the church today and a piece of its history tomorrow.
