Richland United Methodist Church (Richland City, Spencer County, Ind.)

 Organization

administrative history

Circuit riders held the first services in the Perry Conty area for United Brethren and Methodist faiths about 1875/1876. These services were combined in the old Ebenezer United Brethren Church. In December 1881 a group of Methodists organized and began a campaign to raise money for a church home. In May 1886 a lot was purchased and in time a church building was erected. Many improvements have been made over the years to this church building. In April 1969 the congregation held their first service in a new church building.
