Directions:
Historic Conference:
Wyoming Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church
Brief History:
This congregation was
originally located at North Main Avenue and Boundary Street, just within the
city limits of Scranton, in the basement of a projected church complex. The first services in the basement were held
September 28, 1913. Despite many good
intentions and a very promising effort in 1927, the congregation never
completed the projected facility – but the original structure was substantially
improved over the years and proved to be a suitable place for worship. In 1957 the State announced plans to build a
new highway through the property, and the congregation purchased property to
relocate in adjacent Dickson City.
The final service in the old building was
held Christmas Day 1957, and the congregation worshiped in an existing house on
their new property while the sanctuary was being erected. The new building, this time a real
sanctuary, was opened for worship August 16, 1959.
