History
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 denomination 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). |
