First United Methodist Church of Rogers. This institution originated in 1880 as Centennial Methodist Church in Gindale (now Leedale), before Rogers was founded; it moved into town in 1889. Its first building on this site was replaced in 1909 by the present one. For many years this church's auditorium was the only hall in Rogers large enough for general gatherings, and was used for such public events as graduations. Two children of this church have become ministers; also, Bishops A. Frank and W. Angie Smith of the United Methodist episcopacy are former members here. (1977) #1894
