Our Story
Our church was founded in 1867-68 as First United Brethren Church. A traveling preacher from Louisville challenged a group of people with whom he had been meeting to form a church. After a number of children were converted, the members decided to build their own building. In 1869, our first church building was constructed at the corner of Charles and Willet Streets (now 13th St.)
The revival of 1891 brought in new members. Reverend Williamson from Tow Saw, England, challenged the congregation to build a more central location. The corner of Cleveland Ave. SW and 10th (now 5th) was chosen. The dedication of the new building was held in September 1894.
On November 14, 1946 we became the First Evangelical United Brethren Church and on March 8, 1953 we voted to build a new building at 12th St. NW and Clarendon Avenue. Our first service in the new building which was held on Easter Sunday 1958.
The present minister, Dr. Joel L. Adkins, 2013, was preceded by 29 ministers. We continue a long history of growing in love and caring by the grace of God, our faith in Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit
