First M.E. Church of Orange, Circa 1888

FUMCO, Today

 

Locally, our history begins with the Methodist Episcopal Society of Orange County in 1873. The First United Methodist Church of Orange sits, today, on property donated by Captain Henry Glassell in 1875. We were the first Methodist Church to be commissioned in Orange County, California and the first church of any kind to be erected in what is now the city of Orange, California (then Richland, California). Today, we are the First United Methodist Church of Orange (FUMCO).

For further reading, below is an historic pamphlet printed in 1963 for the Church's 90th anniversary.
