Our History

In 1867, nine devout souls met to organize the first Methodist church in Tupelo.  In 1899, the sanctuary of the present church was built.  As Tupelo has grown through the years, so has the First Methodist family. 
From that first group, the church’s membership has grown to more than 1,687 – and growing all the time!
