De Kalb First United Methodist Church has a rich history rooted in the heart of DeKalb, Illinois, dating back to 1855.
The congregation's story began with a small group of Methodists who recognized a need for a dedicated place of worship in the growing community.
Initially meeting in private homes, the church officially organized in 1856 and constructed its first building on Maple Street.
Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, De Kalb First United Methodist Church played a central role in the civic and religious life of DeKalb.
It served as a gathering place for community events, supported local charities, and provided spiritual guidance to generations of families.
The church underwent several expansions and renovations, reflecting the community's growth and the evolving needs of the congregation.
In 1928, the congregation moved to its current location on Lincoln Avenue, a landmark building that remains a symbol of the church's enduring commitment to its members and the wider DeKalb area.
The church has continued to adapt and thrive, maintaining a strong connection to its Methodist heritage while engaging with contemporary issues and seeking new ways to serve the community.
It remains an active and vital part of DeKalb's landscape.
