==Early history==
Newly-arrived pioneers organized a Methodist church in the vicinity of Union in late 1784. Working together, they built the church in 1785 on the land of Edward Keenan, who had been a leading part of the construction effort. Keenan donated the land both for the church and for its graveyard.〔Rose, Harold Wickliffe. ''The Colonial Houses of Worship in America:Built in the English Colonies before the Republic, 1607-1789, and Still Standing''. New York: Hastings, 1963, 525-526.〕
The building was dedicated in 1786 by Francis Asbury, the first Methodist bishop in the United States. After its construction, the church was a center of Methodism: Asbury returned at least three times in the next ten years to lead Annual Conferences at the church.〔
