German Methodism Founded In Quincy 72 Years Ago
German Methodism took root in Quincy Illinois in 1844 under Rev Philip Barth and quickly grew. The church built a new facility on Jersey street by 1854 and later moved to the current Eighth and Kentucky streets structure under Rev Franz Piehler. The expansion reflected strong support from Quincy’s German community and rapid, self supporting growth.
