The First United Methodist Church of Arroyo Grande Celebrates 125 Years of Ministry

Rock founded, Christ centered, Faith sustained

Remembering FUMCAG's Lay Persons of the Past

A 125th Anniversary Project



The 125th Anniversary Committee is collecting information about the many wonderful contributions made by lay persons that have "helped hold this church together" over the years. For now we are asking for information only regarding people who have since passed away. Forms are available in Criswell Hall to fill out and hand in. An online form is also available (see below).

Many thanks for your help!

Do it right now; fill it out online. Click here.

PDF form (9kb): print, fill out, and return to the church.

If you'd like to help by typing completed hardcopy forms into the online system (from your computer at home!), please let the church office know. Thanks!


Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Whitlock served in many offices of the church and were beloved by all. He was English, sang bass. He prayed all his business. Evelyn Dirkes was intrigued by one song he sang, "the sea is his and he made it, and he dropped all his 'H's."
