DeBows had its beginnings in 1867. It was then known as the DeBows Methodist Episcopal Sabbath School. Christian education classes and worship were held in a small schoolhouse near the site of the present church building.
In May of 1896, DeBows was incorporated and officially became a Methodist Episcopal Church. Land was purchased at the current location and a new church building was erected.
You can see a complete history of DeBows and some pictures under the “About Us” menu tab.
The DeBows Pathfinders went hiking at Baldpate Mountain, Titusville, NJ, near Washington Crossing State Park, on Saturday, June 9. The Pathfinders are discussing their plans for the summer and schedule information will be posted on the church website. You may also view some pictures from the hike below. You may contact Wayne Ervin for more information about the DeBows Pathfinders group.
DeBows UMC is rebranding their once-a-month casual worship service as Revival Sunday to better convey the nature and spirit of the service. We will be leveraging the talents of our musicians and their affinity toward bluegrass and old-time Gospel music. There will be plenty of familiar music presented to encourage congregational singing.
The first Revival Sunday Service will be on Sunday, April 22nd at 10:00am. Starting in May, Revival Sunday will be the last Sunday of each month. The energy of these services will revive your spirit and strengthen your faith. Everyone is welcome to join us for any of these uplifting services. We look forward to seeing you there!
