Tremont United Methodist Church History
Organized Methodism began in Tremont in early 1891 when Rev. Alonzo Smith and seven Methodists organized the First Methodist Episcopal Church which struggled to survive. They worshipped in the former Congregational Church which was given to them by the Congregationalists whose strength had declined and in discouragement had closed the church.
In 1904 a move was made into our present sanctuary with 58 members. Building projects in 1953 and 1984 have given us our present facility.
On June 9, 1929 a new pipe organ was dedicated. It was rebuilt in 1965 and is still in use.
August, 1989, our United Methodist Church Child Care Center was opened as a mission of the church. It is staffed by certified personnel and is non-profit. It provides child care for children 2 years of age, pre-school, 3 to 5 year olds, and after school care for children through the 5th grade. It is housed in the church basement.
Our church is rich in history and fortunate to have had concerned members with foresight, commitment and dedication to God.
We are united for the purpose of worshipping God and being of service to all people in need.
