Description
History Of Camden First United Methodist Church
As was the case all over the South, Negroes, during slavery and the Civil War, received their religious nurturing where they worked--in the gallery of white churches. This was no less true in Camden. After the Civil War, the Methodist Church North returned to South Carolina and resumed its work. Under Bishop Baker, the South Carolina Missions Conference was organized on April 02, 1866. Camden was among seven charges of the Charleston District.
Oral tradition has it that a Negro congregation was formed in Camden before 1866. This congregation worshipped in its own building on the south side of West DeKalb Street. On June 20, 1836, Frank Adamson deeded to the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States the property on which the church stood. H. Webster, Gibbs Carter, S. Brown, Don Carlos, I. Nash, and Ephraim Robertson composed the Trustee Board to whom the property was deeded.
T. Willard Lewis was appointed to the Charleston District and was, therefore, the first Presiding Elder of this congregation. On April 07, 1866, the first pastor, William Cole, was appointed. In 1868, the second pastor, E. Minor was appointed by Bishop E. S. Janes.
