Our church began December 2, 1894, with ten charter members. A year
later, a building was erected at the corner of Ridge Road and Chicago
Avenue, serving the congregation well for many years.
In September, 1953, ground breaking ceremonies took place for the
building of a new church at our present location. The education wing
was added in 1959.
In 1968, with the merger of The Evangelical United Brethren Church and
The United Methodist Church denominations, we were renamed the First
United Methodist Church of Lansing.
In 1999, the Joseph D. Keller Accessibility Annex was erected to allow
those who are physically challenged to get to the Sanctuary for
worship.
Our church has been a faithful witness to the good news of Jesus Christ in the local and world communities for 112 years.
