*The Christian Church's Lighthouse is open Saturday evenings, 7-9PM for Junior/Senior High students.

First Christian Church was organized in Sedgwick, Kansas, after a four week meeting in Congdon's Opera House held by J. H. Fuller on February 23, 1896, with 34 charter members.  The first Church building was donated by the Darlington Church members with the stipulation that the Sedgwick members would assist in moving the actual building.  The building was dedicated on May 1, 1896 by Bro. G. T. Grobarger.  The first pastor was J. H. Fuller.  The original structure was remodeled in 1907 but following a highly successful revival in 1911, during which the Church could not accommodate the crowds, plans were begun to build a new and larger building.  A new brick building was dedicated on February 16, 1913.  In 1978, the Church membership voted to construct a new building - the third Christian Church to set on the corner of Sixth Street and Franklin in Sedgwick.  Dedication was held on August 26, 1979. 

Plymouth Congregational Church
(316) 772-5895
402 N. Commercial
Pastor: Craig Reynolds

 

The Congregationalists have the distinction of having the first Church in Sedgwick.  The seats were planks placed on kegs and the pulpit was a board balanced on an empty lime barrel.  On June 8, 1876 three Chicago men donated a lot on 8th Street for a parsonage.  On December 8, 1912 the last meeting was held in the old Church.  On Saturday evening and all day Sunday, December 22, the services for the dedication of the new Church were held.

United Methodist Church

Pastor: Paul Stephens

We don't have all the answers.  But we know who does.

Life in the 21st Century has taken us away from community, from each other, and too often, from God.  The paradox is the less time we have for God the more we need Him.

The people of Sedgwick United Methodist Church believe that God made the world, that He made us to live in it, and that as the supreme expression of His love He offers us eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ.  We get together as often as we can each week with our friends and fellow believers to seek His guidance in dealing with the problems we face in this world, and to take comfort in His ultimate control and amazing grace.

Our church family includes people of all ages and lifestyles - young and old, divorced parents and families with children, singles and couples, lifelong members and visitors just like you.  We invite you to join us, whether you choose to make this your church home or simply to stop in for a Wednesday evening F5 program or Sunday morning service.

We're here for each other, we're here for God, and God is here for us.  He's here for you too.

The United Methodist Church was incorporated October 22, 1875.  The Methodists bought the old McClung Hotel and fitted it for a Church.  When this was found to be unsatisfactory the small brick schoolhouse was rented for a Church on Sundays.  A new Church was built and dedicated in 1879 on the present site, Commercial and Sixth Street.  This building was sold in April of 1913.  On May 13, 1913, ground was broken for the present building.  In April of 1968, the United Methodist Church became a reality unification of the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodist Church.
