Centreville United Methodist Church........Our History On February 1, 1959, Grace Methodist Church merged with Epworth Church to become the Centreville United Methodist Church. This congregation worshipped together for the first time on March 22, 1959. Services alternated between the two churches for a period of one month. Later it was changed to six months in each church. It soon became apparent that new facilities were needed. Thus, land was purchased and plans were made to build. The Educational Building, completed in July 1962, was used for both Sunday School and Worship until the Sanctuary was built. On September 21, 1969, the cornerstone for the new Centreville United Methodist Church was laid. A Service of Consecration of the Sanctuary was held on May 17, 1970. Since 1971 this congregation has worshipped in this beautiful sanctuary. Memorial gifts, church-sponsored suppers, donations from individuals and support from our church family have made Centreville United Methodist Church what it is today. Our Educational Building was expanded by five classrooms and opened in September 2007. We have grown with the community of Centreville since 1959, and these past 45+ years have been a true blessing for all of our church family. We look forward to continuing the growth for the next 50 years, as a place of worship and fellowship for all members of God's Church. Pastoral History 1959 - 1966 Donald O.
