About Tawas Methodist Church: In 1962, the East Tawas Methodist Church celebrated its 100th anniversary and the Tawas City Methodist Church celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1968. The two churches voted and officially merged and became the Tawas United Methodist Church in May 1968. In 1969 a three-acre parcel of land at the corner of 5th Avenue and M-55 was purchased. Funds were raised and plans were developed for the new building and ground-breaking service was held in 1974. Almost fifty years later feeling unease about the degree to which the United Methodist Church was not strictly adhering to sound biblical principles, Tawas United Methodist Church members voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist denomination. Steps were taken and on May 2, 2023 a new church, Tawas Methodist Church, was incorporated. On July 22, 2023 Tawas United Methodist Church formally disaffiliated from the United Methodist denomination. Tawas United Methodist Church ceased to exist. As an independent Methodist congregation, Tawas Methodist Church is now financially stable and with no debt burden. We have a beautiful building including the Sanctury, office, and incorporating multiple wings housing classrooms, a library, Fireplace room, a nursery, kitchen, gymnasium and Family life center. A parsonage is included: a three-bedroom, two full bath home, 2,436 sq ft on three city lots, located approximately one mile from the church, with all utilities paid. Attached to the home is a two-car garage, with extra garage unit on-site. About Our Community: The Tawas area is one of the most beautiful areas in which to live.
