Narrative Description
The Freeland United Methodist Church is a gable-roofed, Gothic Revival-style, brick, limestone, and wood-trimmed building which rests on a concrete pad foundation. In 1972 a glass-framed, gabled entrance was added to the front of the church edifice.
Statement of Significance
The Freeland United Methodist Church is a one hundred and fifty year old Methodist congregation in northern Saginaw County. Services were first held in the cabin of Joseph King, who began a Sunday school in 1846. By 1870 the congregation could support a pastor. In 1919 the current brick structure was built.
