In the 1830's pioneer families from the East came to Leroy Township. They made clearings in the forests. Pioneer Methodist Circuit Riders rode horseback from settlement to settlement. One of these Circuit Riders was Reverend J. H. Castor under whose direction our first Methodist parsonage was built in 1877 on W. Grand River, which served all pastors until 1928, when one was purchased on North Main Street, which served all pastors until the present one on Beech Street was purchase in 1970.

In the spring of 1880, William McPherson deeded the lot on which our church stands to the First Methodist Church of Webberville. However, it was not until Reverend Castor returned to the area in 1883, that the building of a church was promoted. It was started in 1884 and dedicated in 1885.

We celebrated the 50th anniversary on the last Sunday of 1935. Our church has been improved and remodeled many times since then. The last improvement was the elevator that was added in 1996. Webberville United Methodist Church is now building a new building to accommodate their expanding ministry. They hope your congregation can as successful in their building.
