The Four Towns Methodist Church is a special old church. You can find it in a small area called Four Towns, Michigan. This area is part of Waterford Township, Michigan, which is in Oakland County, Michigan.

The name "Four Towns" is pretty cool! It's called that because it's located where four different townships meet. These townships are West Bloomfield, Commerce, Waterford, and White Lake.

A Look at the Church's History

The story of the Four Towns Methodist Church began a long time ago. In 1866, a simple schoolhouse was built here. The land for this building was given by a person named Nathan R. Colvin.

School and Church Together

For many years, from 1866 until 1930, this building was used for two important things. It was a school where kids learned, and it was also a church where people gathered for services. Imagine going to school in the same building where you went to church!

Becoming a Full-Time Church

After 1930, the building mostly became a church. It stopped being a school and focused on church activities. This means it has been a place of worship for a very long time.

Early Church Services

When Four Towns was a much smaller place, church services were held every two weeks. Sunday school, which is like a class for kids about faith, happened every week during the summer.

The Church Today

Today, the church is still active and important to the community. Its official name is now the Four Towns United Methodist Church. It continues to be a place for people to gather and worship.
