Our Beginnings
Cargill UMC has a history dating to Methodism’s beginnings in Janesville in the 1830s.
In the early 1900s, the church took its name from William W. Cargill, founder of the Cargill Inc. who gave a substantial gift to the congregation in memory of his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Cargill.
The present church has no connection to the global food corporation of the same name based in Bloomington, Minn.
