Faith Community Church of Milford was officially incorporated on May 23, 2018. In order to understand its conception, it is necessary to understand what came before.
Technically the new church in town, our roots go back to 1859 when the first Methodist preacher arrived in Dickinson County, eventually building the first church in Milford known as the Methodist Episcopal Church, and to 1872 when the first pastor from the Home Missionary Society of the Congregational Church was sent to Milford. These two churches joined and became the Federated Church, eventually evolving into Union Memorial Church, a joint United Methodist Church and United Church of Christ. Our history is that of evolution to meet changing needs.
In early summer of 2014 our church began to examine our ministry to our members and the world beyond our walls. We asked questions about our role in the community and in the lives of our members. There was discussion about what a church should be and should do: We asked ourselves if we were sufficiently reaching out to share the Word of God. With some regret at severing ties with part of our history, the majority of our members felt we could be more effective in our ministry by becoming an independent, non-denominational church and we moved forward to leave our two denominations.
The culmination of four years of prayer, analysis, discussion and exploration, Faith Community Church is an independent church with no denominational affiliation. Our vision is to minister to all God’s people with a loving spirit, reaching out to the community we are a part of, with hope based on faith.

Providing you with leading-edge agricultural solutions for 100 years.
MaxYield — our name is our mission
Today’s agriculture business is a highly competitive, global marketplace. Your success goes well beyond the costs of inputs. Cheap seed and fertilizer will not meet the challenges of the global market place. That is why the team at MaxYield Cooperative is focused on providing you with leading-edge solutions to maximize your yields.
We see more in your fields
You farm for a reason. We see more in your fields means that we not only work to maximize the harvest, but we never lose sight of the bigger picture of why you farm. Sure, profits are important, but you choose the farming lifestyle for what it will do for you and your family. For some, farming provides a quality of life that can’t be matched anywhere else. For others, it helps put their children through college and offers opportunities for the next generation to return to the farm.
It’s our job at MaxYield Cooperative to understand these hopes and dreams, and provide solutions to help you get there.
100 years of working for you
When agricultural cooperatives were first formed, the founders understood that the power and strength of many producers doing business together was greater than doing business alone.
By focusing on the bigger picture of providing total solutions for our producers today, we maintain our original mission of cooperative benefit while helping you compete successfully in today’s global market.
Now, more than ever, MaxYield Cooperative … We See More In Your Fields.

The first library in Milford was started in “Old Town” by the settlers. In the year 1923-1924, the Milford Federated Women’s Club established a town library as one of their projects. Club members went from house to house and solicited books to start the new library. Lumber for the bookcases was donated and the shelves were built by a manual training class. A few years later, a state law was passed allowing towns to levy a tax for libraries, and ever since the town of Milford has maintained an excellent library. The early library was located in the town hall. In 1965, a new building was built at 1020 10th Street. Today, the library is part of the Milford Community Building at 1009 9th St., a project that was completed in the Spring of 1999.
