First United Methodist Church, Jacksonville

Jacksonville’s First United Methodist Church was founded by John Jerry in 1823 who was known to have been travelling on horseback across Florida carrying his cloths, books and food, spreading the word of God and conducting religious services. The current structure of the church resembles the original neo-classical building that had a much smaller tower and lacked the Doric columns that add a special grandeur to the somewhat modest all-white building. First United Methodist Church has good musical traditions and invites young and old to visit its liturgical mass services.
