In 1823 Nicholas Hiles and ten other persons met for the first time in Woodstown with two Methodist itinerant preachers, Edward Stout and Elwood Stokes. Two years later the group became a regular appointment on the Salem Circuit. Our church was named after Francis Asbury, the first Methodist bishop. The church building was first located on the road to Yorketown, where a small cemetery maintained by the church is still located. In 1856, the church moved to a new building at the present location. That building burned in 1893 and was replaced by the existing structure. The education building was added in 1958.
