Three Oaks United Methodist Church

Three Oaks United Methodist Church We are a church with a rich history, dating back over 130 years! This strong foundation supports us today as we seek to be in ministry in new and exciting ways.

Early Methodists, then known as Methodist Episcopals, first came to our area in the 1830's They originally met together in homes. The first such meeting of record was held in the fall of 1833 at the home of Whitman Gait. In the years following, Methodist Episcopal churches were formed in Indiana just over the state line at Posey Chapel, Lamb's Chapel, and Maple Grove. As more and more people move

d north into Michigan, plans were made in the 1870's to construct a church in Three Oaks. This building was completed in 1878, incorporating beautiful windows made in LaPorte, Indiana. Our church has stood at the corner of Elm and Sycamore Streets ever since, though there have been many changes made to the original structure. In 1919, an annex was added to house the pastor and his family. In 1939, the Northern and Southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal Churhes united with the Methodist Protestant Church to form The Methodist Church. In 1968, The Methodist Church merged with the Evangelical United Breathern Church (EUB) to form the United Methodist Church. In 1978, the annex was demolished and a new education wing was erected in its place. This addition still houses our church offices and Sunday School rooms, as well as a rehearsal space for our choir and a parlor for meetings and informal gatherings. In 2001, an elevator was installed to provide handicapped accessibility for all of our programs. In 1989, our church, as well as the Village of Three Oaks, served as the backdrop for several scenes in the family holiday film "Prancer".

Three Oaks United Methodist Church will be closed tomorrow. Stay safe

11/29/2025

With the snow continuing to fall people are wondering if we will have church tomorrow. As long as Pastor Kel can make it in there will be church of some kind. The most important decision to make is whether or not you will be safe coming in. If you feel like the roads are too bad, stay home. We will broadcast the 11am service at Waters Edge if you want to watch from home. But most of all be safe!
