"Waugh United Methodist Church
The first mention of Waugh Church in the Baltimore Conference records was in 1843 as part of the Great Falls Circuit with ten other “preaching places.” In 1864, Waugh became part of the Long Green Circuit which was formed with five churches, including Fork. By the early 50’s, two churches (Fork and Salem) had left the circuit to stand on their own, and Waugh continued as part of the Long Green Charge which also included Union and Wilson churches. In 1970, Waugh was separated from the Long Green Charge and linked once again with Fork to form the Fork-Waugh Charge.
The church was named after Bishop Beverly Waugh who dedicated it. Originally, it was to have been called Geddis Chapel, after John Geddis who gave the land for the first church. However, he declined the honor. His son, John Geddis, Jr., gave additional property and $2,250 toward the building of the present church, which was dedicated on January 12, 1901."
