Methodist Aesthetics

There was supposed to be a poll attached but the poll did not seem to be here!

Curious! What church styles do you prefer / want to see more? I couldn't fit 'art deco', 'greek revival', or 'modern traditional' styles so if you want to see any of those, comment!

First United Methodist Church, Kalamazoo, Michigan (United Methodist Church)

Bear Creek Methodist Protestant Church, Utica, Mississippi (Methodist Protestant Church)

Long Street Methodist Church, Middleton, England (Methodist Church in Great Britain) This arts and craft architectural style church mimics rural English country church design.

Saint Luke's United Methodist Church, Danville, Virginia (United Methodist Church)

Grace Methodist Church, Hartford City, Indiana (Global Methodist Church)

The Upper Room Chapel, Nashville, Tennessee (Upper Room Ministries of the United Methodist Church)

@revchadbrooks Do you believe perhaps its because we became more focused on congregational singing? (2)

@revchadbrooks That really is a neat observation I haven't noticed either! Where I was previously stationed at in Florida was built in Mid Century styling (Despite being the 80s) and had a choir loft (1)

I've fallen in love with this account, but I am seeing something interesting in a sociological/historical vein of Wesleyanism. I'm struck by the LACK of choir lofts in many of these traditional churches built in the turn of the 20th century.

First United Methodist Church, Little Rock, Arkansas (United Methodist Church)

Saint Paul's United Methodist Church, Cedar Rapids, Iowa (United Methodist Church) Designed by Louis Sullivan, who was a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright and is considered to be the "Father of Skyscrapers". This church was complete in 1914.

Blessed St Patrick's Day! Here is Saint Patrick's Methodist Church, Waterford, Ireland (Methodist Church in Ireland)

Lower United Methodist Church, Hartfield Virginia (UMC) Possibly one of the oldest methodist chapels in the world, built in 1717 when John Wesley was only 14! This started life as Christ Church an Anglican chapel of ease, and after de-establishment of Anglicanism was Methodist!

Saint Mark's United Methodist Church, Saint Louis, Missouri (United Methodist Church)

Saint Andrews Methodist Church, Swindon, England (Methodist Church in Great Britain)
