     Ann Arbor
The Ann Arbor Free Methodist Church was started in 1917. The first revival service was held in the home of Willian Schneider. Meetings continued in this home until Mr. Schneider offered to clear out the upstairs storeroom over his plumbing shop. This was made into a chapel.
     The Free Methodist Church on Huron Street was build about 1926.This church served the society until 1963 when a new church was completed. This diamond-shaped church is located on Newport Road. It received a Merit Award in the 1961 Annual Church Design Contest. A tunnel under the carport which provides entrance to the church will eventually provide access to an educational building.
     Ann Arbor has nice facilities and a good location. They have made some improvements and updating of equipment, thanks to the effort of [former] Pastor Patrick Kelsey and his wife Donna. Unfortunately, the historical records of the church were destroyed due to flooding.
