Near Newark in New Castle County, Delaware — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Ebenezer United Methodist Church
With the spread of suburban settlement during the decade of the 1950's, the congregation began to outgrow its facilities once again. Additional property was purchased in 1954, and a new Education Building was completed in 1964. Continued growth resulted in the construction of the present sanctuary in 1975-76. A Christian Life Center was subsequently completed in 1993. For a time the old frame church was utilized for Sunday School classes, and as a meeting place for the local Korean United Methodist congregation. After many years of service to the church and community, the building was demolished in 1998.
Erected 1999 by Delaware Public Archives. (Marker Number NC-104.)
