As the name indicates, the Wimbledon United Methodist Church is a unification of several churches of different denominations over a period of seventy-five years.

Beginning with a Sunday School in 1893, with Robert B. Cox as the superintendent, the Congregational Church was organized in July, 1894. In 1903, finding it difficult to obtain support, they began exploring the possibility of changing to the Presbyterian faith. On September 10, 1904, the property was deeded to the Presbyterian Church, the members presented their letters and the Church body became Presbyterian. In January 1904, the sum of $2,100 was subscribed by the 19 members and a church building was finished in July. Furnishings, painting, etc. brought the total cost to $7,000. One year later, on January 14, 1905, the church was dedicated.

On May 10, 1929 the session voted to transfer by deed the property of the church to the Fowler Methodist Church of Wimbledon, along with the same action by the German Reformed Church Mail of that city.

On March 26, 1931 union was completed with a Valedictory Service in the Methodist Church, now renamed the "St. John's Methodist Church" in honor of John Wesley, founder of Methodism, John Huss, founder of the German Reformed and John Knox, founder of the Presbyterian Church.

In 1969 a new church was built in the west end of the city, completed at about the same time as the merger of the Evangelical United Brethren Church with the Methodist Church to form the United Methodist Church. The Reverend Roland D. Voegeli now serves the Wimbledon United Methodist Church.
