The Methodist-Episcopal Church
Monroe Historical Society photo #301
Monroe's United Methodist Church, then called the Methodist-Episcopal Church, was the first church in Monroe. Members began by meeting in Austins' barn
until 1896 when they completed this handsome, white church and parsonage on South Lewis Street, which was replaced by the present imposing brick church in
1924. At first members were led in worship by circuit riding ministers, who served a number of parishes. For a number of years the ME Church was the only
one in Monroe, and it periodically hosted services in Swedish for the Swedish settlers.
