This Methodist Church burned to the ground in 1903 when a spark from the foundry set several buildings in the down town area on fire.
A new one was built by 1904.
By 1900, with a population of 3,025, most people in East Bridgewater were active in one of the five East Bridgewater churches:
The First Parish Unitarian, Union Congregational, United Methodist, St John the Evangelist Catholic, and Elmwood New Jerusalem Swedenborgian Church.
