A Brief History of Ijamsville United Methodist Church
The village of Ijamsville, MD was named for Plummer Ijams, Jr., in 1832, the son of Ijamsville's first settler's Plummer, Sr. and Jemima Ijams who came to Frederick County in 1785. Plummer, Jr. was the first Postmaster of Ijamsville (1832) and a member of the Maryland Legislature in 1839.
The Ijamsville Methodist Church was built in 1854. The bricks were made on the "Brick House Farm" of Charles Hendry. The church was opened for services on Sunday October 15, 1854. On September 26, 1857, Ijamsville Methodist Episcopal Church reported to the Third Quarterly Conference that the Sunday School had fifty children and a suitable number of teachers, and also possessed a library worth twenty dollars. The deed to the land on which the church was built was made four years later on March 24, 1858. Five dollars was the purchase price of the land. The church was dedicated July 25, 1858 with sermons by the Reverend Thomas B. Sergeant and the Reverend T.M. Reese.
