About Us
Now arriving on track 3, Methodism in Ogden." While that wasn't the call heard in the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific passenger terminal on June 28, 1870, that was what was arriving as the Reverend G.M. Pierce conducted the first Methodist church service in the terminal. The ministry of what is now First United Methodist Church was launched on an express run that saw the congregation literally on the move for the first few months of its existence, meeting for short periods in the Ogden Theater Building at the corner of 24th and Grant ($5 per week), Cordon's Hall at 25th and Main (now Washington Avenue) ($12 per month) and Leavitt's Hall at 24th and Washington ($18 per month).
