Historical Note
The Methodist Protestant Church has a common history with all other branches of Methodism and traces its origin back through the Methodist Episcopal Church. Disagreements regarding the governance of the church led to a Reform Movement within the church and later resulted in the organization of the Methodist Protestant Church in 1830. The Mississinewa Circuit of the Methodist Protestant Church was part of the Wabash District and consisted of members from Grant County, Indiana.
