Greene Street United Methodist Church

Began in the fall of 1807 and after several years of meeting in members’ homes, a log building was erected in 1815. In 1824, a church was built on the west side of Spring Street between Ash and High streets. The name Greene Street originated when in 1837, construction of a larger building was completed at the corner of Wayne and Greene Streets. The edifice known today as Greene Street United Methodist Church was designed in the English Gothic style by J.C. Fulton and Sons, church architects, and built by A.M. Fry. The cornerstone was laid in 1925 with construction completed in 1927. The front of the Sanctuary includes a large mosaic stained glass window made of 25,000 pieces of imported glass with insignias representing the Crucifixion. There are 24 smaller stained glass windows along the sides. High above the back of the Sanctuary are three murals, the largest of which is a reproduction of one of the most famous artworks in the world, Leonardo DaVinci’s The Last Supper. In the late 1960's, the educational wing was added, housing an office and Sunday School rooms. Since 1980 this section of the church has been used five days a week by our Day Care and Preschool.
