Northeast corner of Division and Chapel Streets
This
building was constructed in 1893. Its membership was composed of a
number of Protestants on the Island and, at the time the present
building was erected, the congregation was associated with the
Evangelical United Brethren sect. Soon after, though, it became a
part of the Congregational Church of Ohio. For many years, it was
known locally as the Community Church, but in recent times has
been a charge of the United Methodist Church. Though its
membership, because of the Island's year round population loss,
has dwindled to less than twenty, during the summer months Sunday
attendance fills the pews to overflowing. At the present time, it
is the only Protestant church in operation on the Island.
Renovations and improvements over the years have seen the building
enlarged and modernized. It is served by a part-time lay pastor.
