3 2 HISTORICAL SKETCH The citizens of Mayfield participated in the Methodist Rock River Conference as a stop on the circuit starting in Conference meetings were held at Mayfield, then know as Brush Point, in 1848 and At first services were held in the home of Mr. Ira Douglas and then at the Brush Point school house. In 1860 a group of citizens met at the school house to organize the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Mayfield. At that first meeting they elected a board of trustees, adopted a constitution and began plans for construction of a building to be located near the cemetery in Mayfield. The first board of trustees included Rev. William A. Nickerson, Stephen Townsend, and Reuben and Ira Nichols, all known for their involvement with the underground railroad. In 1906 the church lost its ability to get pulpit supply through the Wesleyan Methodist organization. At that time the church changed its affiliation to the Congregational churches and began receiving pulpit supply through Wheaton College. It became a member of the Congregational and Christian Conference of Illinois during this period. In the early and mid- 1960's, the Mayfield church joined the Northern Association of Congregational Christian churches which, eventually, became part of the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ. The latter group consolidated the Congregational and Christian Conference of Illinois with the North Illinois Synod of the Evangelical and Reformed Churches. In 2002 Mayfield voted to begin the process to become an Open And Affirming (O & A) congregation, which indicates that the church publicly welcomed persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The mission statement was amended in 2004 to officially be considered O & A, the first Christian church in DeKalb county to openly include members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community.
