Dazey United Methodist Church

First organized in 1888, the Dazey Methodist Congregation immediately set about building a church building which was completed in 1890 under The Rev. Resseger. The building included living quarters for the pastor and his family. The building committee included T. L. Hazelett, Andy Pudler, W. H. Osborne, and Mrs. John Holiday.

As time passed, the chairs were replaced by pews, a piano was given by the Dramatic Society, a Sunday School was organized and under The Rev. L. A. Dodge, the membership exceeded one hundred.

The depression affected churches, and the Dazey Methodist was no exception. Unable to pay a pastor, the church building saw no services for over six years. However, the Sunday School carried on and eventually services were resumed under The Rev. Love, who also served several other parishes.

By the 1960s it became apparent that the old church needed much repair and thought was given to building a new building. However, another solution presented itself and a bid was made to purchase the now unused Public School building. The bid was accepted and the school building moved and added to the existing building, and all was renovated and refurbished. In June, 1968 the remodeled church was dedicated by Bishop Armstrong.
