About McKendree Methodist

Rooted In Faith- Deep Roots in KW!

McKendree Church has a rich history in King William, and as of Fall 2024, we proudly celebrated our transition from the United Methodist Church to an Independent Church that is Rooted In Faith. We are eager to focus our missions on serving our local community!

Founded in 1886, McKendree Methodist Church began when four families gathered for worship in the front yard of Chestnut Grove. The church building was completed in 1890 and named after the first American-born Methodist Bishop, William McKendree, who was born in King William County on July 6, 1757. Remarkably, he spent his first seven years just five miles from the site where our church now stands. In 2013, we dedicated a new fellowship hall to further enhance our community services.

A Little Church with a Big Heart!

McKendree is a small church located in rural King William, VA, where visitors and new members often comment on our welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Our charming country church, established in 1890, continues to grow as a body of Christ dedicated to meeting both the spiritual and practical needs of our members and the broader community through worship, service, and outreach programs. We invite you to visit us and become part of our loving family in Christ!

Our members are passionate and actively engaged in supporting the residents of King William through Christ-centered missions. We are especially blessed to have a vibrant youth group, with students ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade.
