175th Anniversary of the Waukeenah United Methodist Church
In the year 1837, the Waukeenah United Methodist Church was established. It began as the Waukeenah Methodist Episcopal Church. The story of the Waukeenah United Methodist Church is not so much about land and buildings as it is about the strong resolve and faith of our forefathers and our present congregation. The strength of this Church comes from almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ. This Church is truly, "THE LITTLE CHURCH WITH A BIG HEART"
"The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and
exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation."
2 Samuel 22:47 (KJV)
