History

ChurchMidway United Methodist Church, a cornerstone of the Oxford, Mississippi community, boasts a rich history rooted in the progressive spirit of the Methodist Church.

Established in 1875, the church originated from a small group of Methodists who sought to establish a local congregation in the rapidly growing town.

Initially meeting in private homes, the congregation quickly recognized the need for a dedicated building and began fundraising efforts that culminated in the construction of its first church building in 1883.

This original structure, a modest Gothic Revival style church, served the community faithfully for decades.

Throughout the 20th century, ChurchMidway adapted and grew alongside Oxford’s evolution.

The church played a significant role in the city’s social and cultural life, offering not only spiritual guidance but also actively engaging in community service projects.

The building was significantly expanded in 1958 to accommodate a growing membership and to modernize facilities.

Subsequent renovations and updates have ensured the church remains a vibrant and relevant center of worship and community engagement.

Today, ChurchMidway United Methodist Church continues its legacy of service, education, and fellowship, remaining a vital part of Oxford’s heritage.
