First Methodist Church

Methodist Bishop Francis Asbury's many visits to Kingston (Conway) between 1785 and 1815 preceded the organization of a Methodist congregation here.  Land was obtained in 1842 and the first church building was constructed here in 1844.  Still standing are the 1898 gothic-style and the 1910 mission-style buildings.  The church was renamed First Methodist in 1958 and the current Georgian sanctuary was completed in 1961. ~ text of marker
