The United Christian Church of Marietta was built around 1900, when women in the community formed a Women's Aid Society to build a church in Marietta. There were 21 charter members of the society--all women, because the men said they were too busy tending to their own work.

The Society bought property from Eugene Baker for $50. After a few years, a church was built by the Wright brothers of Marcellus at a cost of $700.

The bell that still rings each Sunday morning was donated by Mr. and Mrs. George Case.

The pews and large chandelier were given by the Presbyterian Church of Marcellus.

The pulpit Bible was sent to the church by the Rev. Joshua Meade of Newark, NJ.

The Rev. William M. Case became the first regular pastor.

In April 1951 the name of the church was changed from the Women's Aid Society to the United Christian Church of Marietta.
