Inscription. Zoar Methodist Church was founded in the late
18th century. Bishops Coke and Asbury are
believed to have ministered to congregations
in a log structure which served as the first
church building. A cypress-shingle church was
constructed after the land was purchased from
Robert and Sukey Lacey in 1802. Within a few
years, camp meetings were being held in the
adjoining grove. The Church was incorporated
on November 5, 1810. Following a fire in 1910,
the present structure was built. Much of the
carpentry and masonry was completed by Rev.
James L. Derrickson, pastor of the Church.
The last camp meeting was held in 1919. Annual
homecoming services are held in late October.
Erected 1994 by Delaware Public Archives. (Marker Number SC- 99.)
