Louisa United Methodist Church was established at its present location June 8th, 1852. At that time, the Masonic Day Lodge and the Church began sharing the building as a meeting place. The lodge met on the second floor and the Methodist Church met on the first floor. The Episcopal Church was permitted use, one Sunday a month, which continued for twenty years. During the Civil War the church was used as a hospital. An addition to the church was built in 1927 providing Sunday School rooms and a social hall. In 1955 the sanctuary and the narthex were redecorated, adding a separate pulpit and lectern, a new altar, and a baptismal font. The church bought the adjacent property on the east side in 1952. In 1962, additional Sunday School rooms, a pastor’s study, and more were added. Another remodeling took place in 1993 and in 1996. Eight stained glass windows were added at that time. In 1998, the church purchased the Woolfolk property next door and uses the house for youth classes and other meetings. More plans are being made to expand.
