About Bethel Methodist Church (Charleston, South Carolina)
Religion, Churches, Interesting Places, Other Churches
Bethel Methodist Church is a congregation and National Register property located at 57 Pitt St. The half-acre lot at the southwest corner of Pitt and Calhoun Streets was purchased by the Methodists in 1795 as a burial ground. However, they soon decided to construct a wooden church there called Bethel, and the original building was constructed in 1797–1798. In 1852 construction of the current Bethel Church began, and the existing wooden building was relocated to the rear of the lot. The original wood church was later given to a black congregation and moved again, across Calhoun St. to 222 Calhoun St., where it survives today as Old Bethel United Methodist Church.
