Historical Note
Columbia United Methodist Church was founded in 1822 by a group of pioneers in Connersville, Fayette County, Indiana. The church was located in a log schoolhouse, and was coloquially called "Hardy's meeting house," after the first minister Reverend Charles Hardy, Sr. The church became a part of the Indiana Conference in 1833. A new building was constructed in 1851, and was repaired in 1894, 1908, and 1951. The church disaffiliated from the United Methodist Church in 2022.
