The Standish Methodist Church was established in 1904. For a number of years, all was well. By the early 1930s, attendance was so low, that services were discontinued. In the fall of 1938, Rev. E.N. Dabritz, pastor of the Susanville Methodist Church attempted to rectify the situation. By November the average attendance of the congregation was 70. In the meantime, the church had fallen into disrepair and needed a new roof. The Rev. Dabritz issued a plea for funds throughout the Honey Lake Valley and enough donations were received to replace the roof.
How long the church continued or when the Methodist Church abandoned it, I do not know. For over the last four decades and probably more it is known as the Standish Bible Church.
