Naming convention: Name of Church - Location (e.g., Richford United Methodist Church - Richford, Vermont). Please make sure that the Waymark name and the church signage agree (unless you can present a compelling reason otherwise).
*If the building is no longer an active church, or no longer a Methodist Church, please include Former in the title.
Coordinates: Taken from a publicly accessible location as close as possible to the building (at the front door if possible).
Photographs:
At least two original photographs -taken by you- are required:(1) one of the Church building (please try to get it all in for the default shot)
and (2) one of the sign so the words on the sign are legible.
Please use your own photographs, and not copyright photographs taken by others.
Additional photographs are welcome!
No GPSr in front of the camera. We trust you used one to take the coordinates, but we're more interested in nice photos than in you proving you have one.
The Church must have its own building for worship and is not sharing the site with another purpose, such as a school auditorium or cultural center that otherwise has no affiliation with the Methodist congregation. Churches located in a strip-mall, also known as a "storefront church" will be accepted. These churches share the general campus with other purposes but not the worship space.
Long Description.
Please provide as much information as possible. A multiple-sentence paragraph unique from the Short Description is required in the Long Description area of the waymark.
If you can't find any history about the church itself, describe the church and the area it's in.
Is it the original building, or a newer replacement?
Built on/over the original, or on a new site?
Buildings that are no longer active Methodist Churches must have photographic or documented support for the existence of the Methodist Church during its activity. This "proof" can exist in the form of a marker, plaque, tablet, or website. If a sign no longer exists for a former Methodist Church, the documented proof of its former activity will override the requirement for an image of the church sign.
*If the building is no longer an active church, or no longer a Methodist Church, please include Former in the title.
