Albright United Methodist Church’s roots start with the merging of two neighboring Evangelical United Brethren churches: Salem on Grove St. and First on Dana St.
A new name, Albright Evangelical Brethren church, was chosen shortly before the November 5th, 1961 Unity Services. This name honors Jacob Albright, founder of the Evangelical Church. In 1968, we became a United Methodist Church, and our name was changed to its final iteration, Albright United Methodist Church.
On November 11th, 1973, a dream was realized as we dedicated a new worship and Christian education center. This is our current location on the corner of Dana and Grove Street.
Our congregation grew again in November of 2004 when Parrish Street United Methodist Church members decided to merge with Albright.
Unfortunately, we hosted our final service on June 30th, 2024. We want to thank the local community, the city of Wilkes-Barre, and our ministry partners around the world for the opportunity to serve you in Christ’s name.
