First United Methodist Church (London, Ohio)

First United Methodist Church is a historic congregation of the United Methodist Church in downtown London, Ohio, United States. Founded in London's earliest years, the congregation worships in a historic church building that was built in the 1890s.
==Congregational history==
A small group of individuals formed a congregation of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1813 or 1814, very soon after London was platted. In its earliest years, the society's members worshipped in each other's homes, and preaching was rare; London's church was part of a circuit of twenty-four Methodist preaching stations. In 1820, the congregation built a log church building on a downtown corner lot; it was the first church building in London. After twenty years, the congregation decided to move. Obtaining property a few blocks away, they built a larger frame church, on each side, and a brick parsonage.〔''History of Madison County Ohio: Its People, Industries and Institutions''. Chester E. Bryan, gen. ed. Indianapolis: B.F. Bowen, 1915.〕
During the 1860s, the congregation saw many changes. In 1860, the pastor's responsibilities were reduced; except for Kingsley Chapel, a small church near London, he was no longer assigned to serve any churches other than London, and Kingsley later closed.〔 The same year saw the completion of a new brick church building, which was placed on the site of the frame church building; measuring by , it cost $7,500 to build.〔 Other buildings were erected in the following few years: a new parsonage was completed in 1863, and a small chapel was added to the church's rear in 1866 by the gift of a member.〔
Among the congregation's leading past members was Jeriah Swetland, prominent local businessman and state representative.〔Brown, Robert C. ''(History of Madison County, Ohio )''. Chicago: Beers, 1883, 944.〕
