Who we are
The Stevenson Church Family is a warm group who will make you feel right at home. Our blended service begins at 9am, but come a few minutes early so you can stop by the HeBrews Cafe for a cup of coffee and a light snack. There is no dress code, so come as you are. When you visit you will notice folks dressed in everything from business casual to shorts and tennis shoes. Our blended service has a relaxed atmosphere. It features live contemporary music and also traditional hymns played on our organ, designed to please all ages. The entire family worships together for the first 20-30 minutes or so and then our children are dismissed for Sunday School. This allows parents with young children time to focus on the pastor's message and enables the children to gather with other kids to learn bible lessons. We look forward to seeing you!

Stevenson Berlin United Methodist Church History
Stevenson United Methodist Church has a long and honored history. Our memories hold a priceless treasury of family heritage and wisdom and we need to preserve the history and pass on a legacy to our younger generation.
Perdeaux Chapel in Sinepuxent Neck was the mother church of Stevenson Methodist Episcopal Church. Their first permanent place of worship in Berlin reduced the congregation at Perdeaux and was called Cedar Chapel. It was erected in 1835 on a lot located on South Main Street near what is now Buckingham Cemetery.
In 1847, a second Methodist church was built. This time the site of the building was changed from South Main Street to North Main Street where the present church stands. The name was changed from Cedar Chapel to Stevenson in honor of Edward Stevenson, who donated the land for the new church. The building was a one story wooden structure.
In 1894, extensive improvements were made to the church building. A second story, a new steeple and memorial windows were added. Later in 1902, a pipe organ was installed. During the years around 1909 this church was known for its great Revival Meetings. Early in the year 1911, it was decided that a new and larger church building was needed for the growing congregation and Sunday school. Under the leadership of Rev. TR. VanDyke, a building committee was appointed in February 1912. It was decided that a stone structure be built, using granite from Port Deposit, Maryland. The contract was granted to Lester Holland, of Berlin. A crew of Italian stone masons from Philadelphia did the stone work. Ground was broken August 1, 1912 (on the same site). Holland's carpenters installed the pews, fashioned and installed the altar, floor, ceiling and framework with western oak and finished with a high gloss. Beautiful stained glass windows were installed. They conveyed stories from the life of Christ and are still enjoyed today. The dedication was June 22, 1913.
The next major improvement was the addition of a church house. Work began on the foundation in August of 1937. By the end of October of that year the building was completed and the dedication was November 7, 1937.
In April of 1952, the Methodist Men voted to build five Sunday school rooms and a hallway, connecting the church and church house, to provide space for growing Sunday school classes. This dedication was March 8, 1953.
In 2002 under the leadership of Rev. Jay Hurley, ground was broken for another addition, our Family Life Center. Our Building Campaign was called "Celebrate the Faith" and invited us to rejoice in our faith, past, present and future. The dedication ceremony was held April 13, 2003. We thank and praise God for His provision and guidance!!

The way, the truth, and the life
Lord Jesus, thou who art the way, the truth, and the life; hear us as we pray for the truth that shall make all free. Teach us that liberty is not only to be loved but also to be lived. Liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in books. It costs too much to be hoarded. Help us see that our liberty is not the right to do as we please, but the opportunity to please to do what is right.
