"Just before the turn of the century a class was started which became known as the Grace United Brethren Church. The official organization date was in 1896, and a church building was dedicated in 1898. Services at this church were conducted in English. Although the building was destroyed by fire in 1935, another was built immediately. This congregation became known as Evangelical United Brethren in 1946, and then in 1965 became affiliated with the Free Methodist denomination, changing its name to Grace Free Methodist Church."
