The First Swedish Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1880. The congregation outgrew it's church and constructed the present church, designed by Henry Eckland in the Gothic Revival style in 1926. The church then changed it's name to the Epworth Methodist Church, and again to the Epworth United Methodist Church. (
