NEW HAVEN UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
‘In 1852, the New Haven United Brethren in Christ Church was organized as a small class by Rev. John W. Perry. Most of the services were held in a school house “on the slop” (Road-side Park Area) until 1866-67 when, under the leadership of Rev. Jacob Bachtel a lot was obtained. A house of worship was built and is still in use as the sanctuary of the present church. Additional improvements were made enlarging the facility with a fellowship hall, basement and classrooms to accommodate a growing membership. The Methodist and Evangelistic United Brethren Churches united and became one in New Haven on November 8, 1968, and was called New Haven United Methodist Church.’
The latest renovation; a new Narthex, was donated by the late John C. Burris and his wife Ann and presented to the church during John’s memorial service in January 2013. John is the son of Pete and Betty Burris and grew up in the New Haven United Methodist Church.
