HISTORY
Clearwater UMC has been worshiping since January 1858. It has a rich history of being part of the spiritual and social structure of downtown Clearwater since then, and is still located in the old downtown area. The current church building was constructed in 1881, and still standing as a historical church on Main Street.
Clearwater Methodist Church was proud to welcome the first woman pastor ordained in our conference as their pastor. http://citizennewspaper.com/author-frank-stupnik-retracing-life-local-minister?fbclid=IwAR3KyWBKK491y2uNQropopgeAcljdg2WyHkobA-HSIvHfiSUq7d6V0pRb7Y
