Gumboro United Methodist Church
Gumboro United Methodist Church traces its
roots from the post Civil War era when a group
of local citizens organized under the name
of Union Methodist Episcopal Church. In
the early 1870s the Church purchased the
structure used by the Gumboro Methodist
Protestant Church for $350.00. The members
of the M.P. Church subsequently joined this
congregation. On March 17, 1881 the Church
incorporated as “Union Methodist Episcopal
Church of Gumboro Hundred.” A second
incorporation took place on June 5, 1890 when
the name was changed to “Gumboro M.E. Church.”
In 1924 David R. Baker donated the present site
where a new church was erected and dedicated
the following year.
