Cindy:
I have a newspaper article from about ten years ago with a history of this
church. When my great grandparents gave the land for the church, it was the
Methodist Episcopal Church. It would then have become just Methodist and
finally U. M. when the merger with the EUB occurred about 1968.

Perhaps this faith is unique to northern Indiana, but there have been
and still are United Missionary Churches all over Elkhart and Kosciusko
Co. of Indiana. Both Bethel College in Mishawaka, IN and, perhaps,
Manchester College in North Mancester, IN were and still may be
connected with this faith.
If the Concord U. M. Church was around in the early part of this
century, that would be before the Methodist Church and the United
Church of Christ combined to become the United Methodist.
Maybe a search of the web would reveal their headquarters.
