COLLYER UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
Services every Sunday at 9:30 a. m. Everyone welcome. Our church was built in the year of 1887 by a Congregational minister of Park, Kansas. Reverend Willer was a carpenter as well as a minister. In 1917, it was voted by the members and the District Superintendent to be changed to a Methodist Church: The Reverend P. S. Stringer was our first Methodist minister. Since that time we have made many improvements in our church. Classrooms, a kitchen, basement, anex, in front of the church, an alter and communion table, pews, a new Bible, And carpet, add to its beauty end sacredness.
Three ministers and one U.S. Service chaplain have gone out from our church to teach all nations. The Collyer United Methodist Church was located in Collyer, Kansas. It no longer is there. Their congregation for the most part has joined the Quinter & WaKeeney First United Methodist Churches.

It all began in WaKeeney when the Rev. J. Wilson started a Methodist "class" in 1878. A Methodist Church was then organized in 1879 by the Rev. J. A. Hoyt, services being held in various rooms about town until the first church was built and dedicated in 1886-87 during the pastorate of the Rev. W. H. Mahaffee
