About Us

From a sermon preached in a boat from the Mississippi River in 1798, Herculaneum United Methodist Church had its early beginnings.  From that time until the early 20th century, Herculaneum had no Methodist church building.  People relied on Methodist circuit riders to hold services intermittently.  In 1916, congregants organized and a few years later erected a building on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, near the spot where Rev. John Clark preached over a hundred years before.  Since then, the church has served the needs of the community.  We continue this tradition with our worship services and mission outreach programs.  We encourage you to join us!
