| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | University Circle United Methodist Church Records
| | | | Creator: | University Circle United Methodist Church | | | | Dates: | 1839-2010 | | | | Abstract: | The University Circle United Methodist Church, formerly known as Epworth-Euclid United Methodist Church, is descended from the earliest Methodist societies in Cleveland, Ohio, having been formed in 1919 from 2 historic congregations: Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church and Epworth Memorial Church. For over 60 years the congregation has occupied a landmark building in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood, nicknamed the "Holy Oil Can" because of its tall copper spire. The Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church began with Methodist classes at Doan's Corners in 1831. A church building, known as Doan Street Methodist Episcopal Church, was constructed in 1837 on Doan (East 105th) Street. A second building was built in 1870 and razed in 1885. In 1887 a new building went up on Euclid Avenue at Oakdale (East 93rd), and the church became known as Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1919-1920, the Euclid Avenue and Epworth Memorial congregations merged, creating the Epworth-Euclid Methodist Church at East 107th Street and Chester Avenue. In 2010, First United Methodist Church and Epworth-Euclid United Methodist Church merged to become University Circle United Methodist Church. The collection consists of advertisements, agreements, annual reports, appraisals, attendance records, audits, budgets, bulletins, bylaws, certificates, charters, church histories, committee records, constitutions, contracts, correspondence, deeds, drawings, estates and bequests, financial records and statements, floor plans, guest books, handbooks, inventories, ledgers, legal records, magazine articles, manuals, membership records, memoranda, minutes, newsletters, newspaper articles and clippings, notes, orders of worship/service, pamphlets, programs, publicity records, recipe books, reports, rosters, scrapbooks, sermons, Sunday School records, and wills. | | | | Call #: | MS 5172 | | | | Extent: | 51.65 linear feet (58 containers, 3 oversize folders and 114 volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Church buildings -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Church records and registers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy. | Epworth League (U.S.) | Epworth Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church (Cleveland, Ohio) | Epworth-Euclid Methodist Episcopal Church (Cleveland, Ohio) | First Methodist Episcopal Church (Cleveland, Ohio) | Methodist Episcopal Church -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Methodists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Registers of births, etc. -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | University Circle United Methodist Church (Cleveland, Ohio) | Women in church work -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Religion | Genealogy
