"History," Williamsburg United Methodist Church, accessed September 26, 2023, https://williamsburgumc.org/who-we-are/our-church 20230926. In the early 1800s, our congregation began meeting in a small frame building on Francis Street near the former colonial Capitol. In 1842, a brick Methodist Episcopal Church was built across from the old Court House. When our faith family outgrew that space, a larger Methodist Church building was constructed in 1926 on the corner of Duke of Gloucester and North Boundary Street. In 1963, the congregation made the bold decision to let this space go and move to its present location at 500 Jamestown Road, directly across from the College of William and Mary and adjacent to the Wesley Foundation ministry to college students.
