Welcome to University United Methodist Church
Decades before I-210 was built as Lake Charles was expanding to the south and new subdivisions were being built to provide homes for expanding industries, the Lake Charles District of the Methodist Church commissioned a new church. With a lot of help from First Methodist Church of Lake Charles, the new church became a reality.
On September 28, 1947, in an unfinished building on the edge of a prairie in what was then South Lake Charles, the first worship service was held.
