Maize Manor United Methodist Church, Columbus OH

I briefly visited Maize Manor United Methodist Church [at 3901 Maize Rd.in the "North Linden" neighborhood of Columbus] on 5-21-2023 while visiting Circle of Hope Church, a recently-formed United Methodist Church that currently meets in the Maize Manor United Methodist Church building.

Maize Manor meets at 9: 30 a.m. At the north end of the building; Circle of Hope meets at 10: 30 a.m. At the south end of the building.

The former Summit on 16th United Methodist Church [near The Ohio State University campus] [with which I had been "friends" during its entire history] and the former Maynard Ave. United Methodist Church [their building had been located about half a mile north of the Summit building] merged during Summer 2022 to create Circle of Hope; the merged church meets in a different part of town.

I arrived early at Maize Manor United Methodist Church so that I would be able to explore the building for a while and then joined Circle of Hope for their Sunday-morning worship [that had been followed by a delicious catered meal].

One great feature of the Maize Manor United Methodist Church building is that the sanctuary is all of the way to the north end of the building and that a large room that certainly is that church's former sanctuary is all of the way to the south end of the building.

Therefore, it is possible for both congregations to gather on Sunday mornings at nearly the same time without interfering with each other.

One drawback to the way in which the Maize Manor building had been constructed is that it is impossible to travel between the two ends of the building without having to go up and down [or down and up] two half-flight flights of steps or by using a single-level sidewalk that is outside of the building.
