NYFE Summary
The congregation traces its beginning to meetings inspired by the Methodist preacher Francis Asbury. An earlier church stood on this site before a lightning strike led to its replacement.
Four wooden columns support the plain triangular front. The bell tower rises above the roof, and gravestones surround the building. The congregation identifies a grave dated 1767 among the burials, older than the church organization itself.
