🎈🎉 Happy 300th Birthday, Philip William Otterbein! 🎉🎈

On June 3, we celebrate the 300th birthday of Philip William Otterbein (1726–1813), a German-born pastor and co-founder of the United Brethren in Christ (and namesake of our basement hall).

Otterbein's United Brethren in Christ became part of the Evangelical United Brethren Church in 1946. In fact, from 1946 to 1968, our congregation was known as Grace Evangelical United Brethren Church. In 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged with the Methodist Church to form what we know today as the United Methodist Church.

That's a lot of church history — and a lot of mergers — from one birthday! 😊

If you're at Grace, stop by Otterbein Hall to see the birthday balloons and learn more about the man whose name is part of our church's story. 🎂📖
