The Methodist Episcopal Church of New Lothrop was organized in February 1889. Later that year, the present sanctuary and belfry were built of timber cut from local farms. In 1891, the H. P. Niles G.A.R. post donated a 700-pound bell in honor of New Lothrop’s Civil War veterans. In 1900, a portion of the former English Settlement Church was attached to the north side of the structure. Mergers in 1939 and 1968 resulted in the church being renamed First United Methodist Church.
