First Centenary United Methodist Church

The History of First-Centenary United Methodist Church is the story of two churches: Centenary Methodist Church and First Methodist Church. These two congregations played prominent roles in the civic and spiritual life of Chattanooga for more than a century and merged to form one church, believing that together they could serve God in the community in a more effective way.

In 2007, construction began on The Oak Street Center which was completed in 2008. It houses a Worship Center for The Vine, kitchen, large classroom, and a spacious lobby. The core area of the present building was also renovated. The Vine serves both as a house of worship for members and a home church for Mustard Tree Ministries.
