The history of Epworth United Methodist Church dates back to 1894 when Epworth Methodist Episcopal Church was formed...............

December, 1894: A church was built on Scottwood Avenue in Toledo, Ohio and Epworth Methodist Episcopal Church was formally dedicated.

January, 1907: The church moved to a new location at West Delaware and Parkwood. A major addition, including the sanctuary, was dedicated on January 1st, 1922.

1958: A fire destroyed the church, leaving the congregation with no church home. Not a single service was missed as the community rushed to help and provide facilities for church services.

1961: The present church building at Valleyview and Central was completed and dedicated.

1994: A new addition to the church was completed and dedicated. Epworth celebrated its centennial.

2001: "Altaring the Vision" Sanctuary remodeling project.

In our history, spanning over 100 years, we have been served by over twenty pastors:
