OUR HISTORY
North Park United Methodist Church, a merger of the congregation of the Epworth-Winsor United Methodist Church and First United Methodist Church of Kinloch, had its first worship service as a new congregation on Sunday, June 3,1990. Epworth-Winsor brought to this merger 150 members and the First Church of Kinloch brought 115 members. Epworth-Winsor was a church in transition in a cha
nging neighborhood and the First Church of Kinloch was in the midst of a land acquisition program administered by St.Louis Lambert Airport. We thank God fort he visionary leadership of Reverend Wendell Stoneburner, pastor of Epworth-Winsor and Reverend Kenneth Franklin, pastor of First Church who saw the opportunity for building the great congregation we have today. Reverend Franklin served as pastor of North Park until June 1994. OUR CHURCH
