Twelve worshipers attended Astoria's first Methodist meeting on August 7, 1840, at James Birney's log house.  By 1850, 250 settlers lived in Astoria, and Methodists now felt the need for their own building, completed in 1853 at the corner of the present 15th and Franklin Streets.  Astoria's public school district also utilized the church.
   
    In 1878, Methodists built a larger church on pilings at 11th and Duane.  By 1912, the church was surrounded by commercial establishments, so a new location was chosen.  The present church was dedicated on March 25, 1917.  Methodism continues its long tradition of Christian service in Astoria. 

     Over forty-nine ministers have served the parish since the Rev. John Frost's first service in 1840.
