The first church in Blacklick Township's first
village, Faith UM was founded as the United Brethren Church and
had a major role in the development of the village, as it once
owned most of the adjacent property of the town, which it sold
as lots, according to local historian Desmond Warzel. Through
a succession of denominational mergers, it became the Evangelical
United Brethren Church in the 1940s and a United Methodist Church
in the 1960s.
