History of Taylorsville United Methodist Church

7/1/2025

The Methodist Church has been present in the Taylorsville community since 1833.

The church was established on January 12, 1833.
For 1833-1841, the Methodists and the Baptists shared the “Meeting House” on Garrard Street.

The present structure stands on land purchased from Benjamin and Polly Wells on May 25, 1841.
The original building was constructed around 1841 or 1842.

After suffering from numerous floods, the structure’s flooring, sidewalls and windows were raised 3 feet in 1913.

An educational wing and parsonage were added in 1952.
The United Methodist Church was created in 1968 when the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged, and later adopted the cross and flame logo.

In the early 1980’s, the church acquired its Malmark Bellcraftsmen handbells to allow musical performances by our handbell choir.

The United Methodist Church, First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and All Saints Catholic Church entered a historic Covenant relationship in 1986. Our purpose: to work toward unity within the Body of Christ.

The 1990’s brought major interior renovations to the sanctuary.
Family Fellowship Hall was completed in 2003.
In 2013 Pew Cushions and a Sound System were installed and Family Hall was upgraded.
In 2014 a spacious Parking Lot was constructed to make “a Space” for all, and was illuminated with lighting in 2016 for safety.
New Front doors added in 2023
