First United Methodist Church of Warsaw is a downtown church located in the county seat of Kosciusko County. Church family members are young and old, married and single. Strong children and youth ministry draw many parents with children. Senior members find meaningful activities through various Bible studies and fellowship opportunities for senior adults. Our church family is represented by a wide range of professions, in both the manufacturing and service sectors.
The church traces its heritage back to 1838 when Reverend Richard Hargrave preached the first Methodist sermon in Warsaw. In 1915, the current building, a domed brick church, was built. In 1968 Methodists voted to join with the Evangelical United Brethren Church forming the United Methodist Church. In 1979 a major renovation added office space and updated the sanctuary. Fifty-six different senior pastors and fifteen associate pastors have served First United Methodist Church.
First United Methodist Church has a proud heritage, and a bright future.
