Our History

Building our future on the foundation of our past

From the earliest history of the Frederick/Clarke county area, a strong faith in Jesus Christ led to the formation of a "Methodist church" in the Berryville area. In the years since 1836, that church has been a mainstay in the faith journeys of many different congregations.

As part of the 180th Homecoming in 2018, John Mallery researched and wrote the complete history of the church from its earliest assemblages to its presence today at 210 East Main Street. Please enjoy the story of Duncan Memorial UMC.
