This is the original site of James City Chapel, where Methodists gathered beginning in 1791. Eventually, the congregation and building made their way to our current location in Toano by rail and oxen cart!
Welcome to Mt. Vernon UMC!
Serving the Toano and greater Williamsburg community since 1887
Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church has been in ministry to Jesus Christ and the greater Williamsburg community for over 138 years. We’re known as the small church with a very big heart! Our vision is to seek to live and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to nurture persons of all ages and circumstances for faithful discipleship, and to transform faith into service to others.
