The Jacksonport United Methodist Church combines historic simplicity with quaint country charm. Built in 1893, the simplistic architectural style reflects the Quaker background of one of the church founders and builders. The small but adequate entrance hall, the straight pews, the white altar rail and pulpit and the oak flooring all repeat this unassuming style. Music from the original Epworth pump organ still fills the church. Everything conveys the feeling of simplicity that has continued over the past 129 years.

Although some improvements have been made over the years, nothing has really changed. The foundation on which this building and congregation was formed is still the same and will continue. Members of the Jacksonport United Methodist Church, along with many summer visitors, family and friends still enjoy the heartwarming pump organ music, thoughtful sermons and warm friendship. They believe that the special old-fashioned feeling of faith that started this Church is strong, vibrant and alive.
