Friendship United Methodist Church History

Just as each individual has an incredible story to tell, so too does a church. Come join us as we trace the rich history of this New England church.

Methodism came to Friendship in 1818 when a small "class" or study and worship group was formed by one John Baxter from Bristol. It was visited occasionally by an itinerate preacher on horseback called a "Circuit Rider". As part of the Kennebac District of the New England Conference in 1820-21, the "leaders" or circuit riders may have been Samuel Plummer and E. F. Newell.

The Penobscot District was established in 1822, and Friendship was an integral part of it. In 1828, Friendship was mentioned for the first time in the Annual Conference Minutes, and has been ever since.

As far as history serves its purpose, the first service was held at the residence of Zena Cook (now the Dr. Hahn house). In 1837 the Bretheren commenced building the "Meeting House". They finished the house and dedicated it to God on October 17, 1838. This may have been the old "Meeting House" of Friendship, which was also known as the "Free Church". According to Mary Carlson, who wrote an article published in the Rockland Courier Gazette on November 21, 1985 entitled "Friendship Churches", the Methodist members built their own church on its present cite in 1868.

In 1892 the church was lifted and a vestry and fellowship hall were built under it. At the same time a new chancel was constructed behind the pulpit. The bell that still calls us to worship was cast in 1868, weighing 658 pounds, and is inscribed "Cast by H. V. Hooper and Co., Boston, MA, A.D. 1868".

The church was remodeled and redecorated in 1948. The steeple, bell and tower were moved forward and the main entrance enlarged. For the first time an electric organ was installed. Again, in 2009, a pledge drive was successful -- raising enough money to completely repaint the interior of the church.

(Excerpts from "A Brief History of the United Methodist Church of Friendship, Maine" by Raymond L. Nelson, 1970.)
