MORE THAN A CHURCH

Richards Chapel, a congregation in Troy, Ohio offers members – and visitors – a chance to become part of something greater. To grow in their love of God and for one another within our beautiful community.

We are rooted in the stories of the Bible and believe worship is something that can be expressed in everything we do. Our philosophy is founded on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. No matter who you are, there’s a special place for you at our church. Get in touch today or come and visit us in person.

A History of Richards Chapel United Methodist Church

With an earnest desire to worship God and to establish a place of worship by and for African Americans and for the community at large, sixteen inspired men and women in Troy formed the original membership of the Richards Chapel Methodist Church in 1877. The charter members were: Dicie Cox Anderson, Eli Coble, Anna N. Cox, John and Julia Downs, George and Caroline Green, John and Martha Letcher, Du Newman, Williams Shutt, Edward Taylor, Margaret Turner, and James and Chloe Williams.
