In 1887, nine charter members started meeting in a little school house on Vernon Avenue where they organized the Crescent Hill Methodist Episcopal Church. Several years later in 1890, a site was purchased for the building of a sanctuary at Frankfort and South Ewing Avenues. Expansion and growth prevailed until 1922 when the lot for the present building was purchased. Worship in the current building began in 1927. In June of 1992, Clifton Heights United Methodist Church merged with Crescent Hill Methodist Church. From our strong past, we have done well with our talents and resources to become a living church. Today we continue into the 21st century, with a strong commitment to affirm the “teachings of Christ” in our daily living.
About our Historic Pipe Organ
Sounding pleasantly into the beautiful architectural space that this magnificent suburban edifice possesses, the organ at Crescent Hill United Methodist is an excellent marriage of the romantic tonal design of the roaring twenties and the more classic philosophy starting to form in the late 1950’s. Moller retained much of the Pilcher instrument, including the main chestwork and most of the pipework, merely interspersing here and there some upperwork and a few color stops. We have had the wonderful opportunity of overseeing this instrument, and have been involved in smaller projects to achieve greater stability.
