Central Methodist Church traces 1888 origins in Decatur
The first Methodist society formed in New Decatur on 5th Ave S in 1888, followed by an eastern group. Eastside and Southside joined as Central Methodist in 1889, a brick church rising at 6th Ave and Jackson St. The building burned in 1928 from an overheated furnace, then a long temporary period led to a new structure by 1938 under Rev. Archibald. The church now has six commissions, 1,250 in Sunday School, 20 staff, and active youth groups led by multiple presidents.
