KOKOMO UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

The Beginning

    The Kokomo Methodist Church was organized in 1911.  Before being organized they had started worshiping in 1906 under the leadership of J. E. Williamson.  Later from 1907 to 1909 W. B. Waldrop led the worshipers.  In 1910 the worship leader was T. H. King and in 1911 it was D. Scarborough.  Dr. Henry Lewis Carruth was one of the dedicated people of Kokomo who met in October 1911 to organized Kokomo Methodist Church.  

    Although Mack Williamson was a Baptist, his home was used to hold the first meeting of the Methodist Church.  The Enochs', who owed the logging camp, donated the materials for the construction of the building.  The Kokomo UNITED Methodist Church is still meeting in this building today.
