DOVER — The First United Methodist Church of Dover has officially closed, with its final service held on December 29, 2024. Established 186 years ago in 1838, the church has been a significant part of the Dover community.

The decision to close the church was made by the Bishop and the Methodist Conference, rather than the congregation itself. While the closure has saddened the church members, they hold dear the many cherished memories of their contributions to Dover and the surrounding towns.

The congregation expresses heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported the church throughout its long and meaningful history.

The First United Methodist Church of Dover was located at 41 East Blackwell Street.

La decisión de cerrar la iglesia fue tomada por el Obispo y la Conferencia Metodista, en lugar de la propia congregación. Aunque el cierre ha entristecido a los miembros de la iglesia, ellos atesoran los muchos recuerdos preciados de sus contribuciones a Dover y a las ciudades vecinas.

La congregación expresa su más sincera gratitud a todos aquellos que han apoyado a la iglesia a lo largo de su larga y significativa historia.

La Primera Iglesia Metodista Unida de Dover estaba ubicada en el 41 de East Blackwell Street.
