The church building is located at the corner of 5th and "L" streets in Hoquiam. According to the history section on the church
website:
"Methodism in Grays Harbor has been around for approximately 120 years. Circuit riders were the first to arrive in Hoquiam and visiting clergy from Montesano and Aberdeen helped to bring Methodism to Hoquiam in 1890.
Our present church at 5th and L was dedicated Sunday morning, August 9, 1891. The “First Methodist Episcopal Church of Hoquiam” had a daughter church in East Hoquiam from the 1910s until it was sold in 1944.
In 1939 the name of the church at 5th and L changed from “First Methodist Episcopal Church of Hoquiam” to “The Methodist Church of Hoquiam Washington”, and we became “The United Methodist Church of Hoquiam” with a merger in 1968.
There have been many physical renovations and additions at this present location, but the special passion and dedication of members remains the same in our quest for spiritual growth that allows us to be, “A church in the heart of the harbor, for the hearts of the people.”"
