Our Journey

Fort Klamath Community Church’s rich history and vibrant community life.

by an Unknown Writer in the Herald & News, Nov. 13, 1953

The church was built in 1912. Rev. W. J Warren of the Bonanza Methodist Church arrived in the city Friday evening from Fort Klamath, where he has been assisting Rev. J. Worrell of the Klamath Indian Mission in the work of building a Church. Rev. Warren was very interested in the success of the new church building during his charge at the Agency Mission last year. First Sunday Mass in Fort Klamath next Sunday [August 8th], Father H.J. Marshal officiating.
In the still calm of a Sabbath morning, the tolling bell is audible for a mile or more, and was given so that it might call those in the entire district to worship in a church that serves all people, regardless of denomination.

It is not limited to service to the immediate town of Fort Klamath; during tourist season, various pastors of the church have conducted Sunday vesper services at Crater Lake National Park, and, for a time, the church school here also sponsored a Sunday School at the park. Funeral and wedding services are held in the church for residents of the entire district. Protestant baptismal is given, and communion is extended to all. Ministerial care is not limited to church membership; visitation is made by the Pastor and his wife to all who are ill or in sorrow.
A Woman’s Society of Christian Service was organized in the spring of 1951, holding monthly meetings and sponsoring dinners, silver teas, etc, to raise funds to help finance various church projects.

The annual Christmas community program is held in the church and is a combined undertaking by the community school, Sunday School, and Civic Improvement Club. Originally called the Church Improvement Club when it was organized in 1924, the group later changed its name to the present one, Civic Improvement Club. The club has always cooperated with the church, and both work hand in hand for the betterment of the community.
