Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fremont United Methodist Church, 1869-1981: A History Methodism had been in existence for well over a century before Fremont had her first Methodist church. In fact, the denomination had been in the United States (colonies) since 1766. Phillip Embury, a lay preacher from Ireland, began to preach in the city of New York. At about the same time Robert Strawbridge, another lay preacher from Ireland, settled in Frederick County, Maryland, and began the work there. In 1769 Wesley sent Richard Boardman and Joseph Filmore to America, and two years later, Francis Asbury, who became the great leader of American Methodism. 50 states the 1980 book OF discipline of the United Methodist Church. North Carolina Methodism began, according to many church historians, when Joseph Filmore preached at Currituck courthouse on September 29, 1772, but the oldest established congregation is Centenary, New Bern. This church began holding services on December 25, 1772, with Joseph Filmore preaching. It was not until about twenty-eight years later that a church was established in Wayne County. The North Carolina Con ference Historical Directory indicates that Providence, south of Goldsboro, and Bethel, near Hood Swamp, were founded about 1800. They were followed by Salem, near Belfast, around 1805. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
