Researching Your United Methodist Ancestors:
"Local church records, such as baptismal and membership records, are not kept by the General Commission on Archives and History. Local church records are kept at the local church. If that church closes and merges with another church, then the records go to the new church. If the church closes and there is no sucessor church, then the records are usually transferred to the annual conference archives. You will need to contact the conference archives to learn more about the status of the church and how to go about finding its records." (and predecessor denominations).

It is true; records burn; they're destroyed by the elements or they are found over one hundred years later in a nook and cranny of an attic as the person suggested. Contact the local church and then also inquire at the national level of this denomination.
Good luck!
