Our History.
…”there has never been a time when the church now known as
Meridian Street United Methodist Church has not been a significant presence in the religious life of Indianapolis.” – Daniel F. Evans Sr.
As old as Indianapolis itself.
Meridian Street United Methodist Church is the oldest congregation in a town that began with log cabins and rutted roads. 2021 marked the 200th anniversary of Meridian Street United Methodist Church. The year was filled with celebrations honoring the continued life of worship, service, and community involvement for which Meridian Street has come to be known.
