The First United Methodist Church Battle Creek

This church is across the street from the Sojourner Truth statue.

The first meeting of the Methodists in newly formed Battle Creek was lead in 1833 by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Thomas.  Daniel Thomas died the next year and the group was disbanded.  Another group started in 1836 and the first church was built in 1840 on the site where the Battle Creek city hall now stands.   

The current church is an Italian Renaissance Style and was built in 1908.
