Brief History:
Regular Methodist preaching began in 1831 in Lymansville [now called Ladona, the intersection east of Coudersport of US 6 and PA 872] and later moved into Coudersport – meeting in public buildings, taverns, and private homes until the old stone court house was erected in 1835. The congregation met in that structure until erecting its first church building in 1855. In 1893 adjacent land was purchased to enlarge the property for the erection of a new building. The old building was moved to the corner of East and Fourth Streets, where the parsonage now stands, and used until the present church building was dedicated in March 1894. The educational unit was added in 1982.
