History of Grafton United Methodist

The Methodist Church at Rawsonville, as Grafton was then called, was organized in March 1871 and held its meetings in Hart's Hall. That structure burned in 1874 and construction of a new building, the basis of the present facility, was begun. The original sanctuary of the present building was dedicated on January 14, 1875.
An addition was added in 1894 and the sanctuary was remodeled in 1912.
In 1962, an extensive addition was made - this included basement enlargement, remodeling of kitchen facilities, addition of the Howard Tran Hall and sanctuary enlargement to accommodate 175 people. We continue to adapt our church, both in facilities and practices, as needed to accomplish our mission of living out God’s Word.

Our mission is:

Putting God's Word to Work Near and Far

Welcome to our little corner of the worldwide web!  We offer this page to give you a little glimpse of what you will encounter at Grafton United Methodist Church.

We invite you to check out some of what we have to offer.

The worldwide web is an impersonal place!  That is not what you will find at Grafton United Methodist Church.

You will find we are a very warm, caring and prayerful people.  If you find a connection with something on our website, you will find much more to connect with on your first visit with us.  You will only be a visitor the first time you step into our church.  After that you become family!  It is our goal to welcome you and help you connect with God through worship and all we offer at Grafton United Methodist Church.

If you are looking for a place to call your spiritual home, we invite you to give us a try!
