Church history
On April 8, 1961, fourteen people met together at the Meadowbrook School in Gladstone, Missouri to form a neighborhood church. In June of that same year, Rev. Dale Lockart became the first Pastor. Membership quickly increased to ninety-seven, and on September 24, 1961, all became charter members when the church was officially organized by Bishop Eugene Frank.
Earlier that year, the Methodist Board of Missions and Church Extension had located a tract of three and one-half acres for the church site, at 2800 Northeast 64th Street in Gladstone. Ground breaking ceremonies were in October, 1962, and the first service was held in the new building on August 4, 1963.
Twenty-six years after the first fourteen people met, a growing congregation voted to build a large sanctuary and meeting hall as an addition to the original structure. This addition was consecrated on February 28, 1988 and dedicated on January 26, 2003. Today we are remodeling, updating and making our space comfortable for children and familes of all ages!
