Abstract:
In 1772, Anglican priest John Wesley sent Joseph Pilmore to New Bern, North Carolina to extend the work of the Methodists. The Methodists of New Bern became the most numerous denomination in the area. In 1843 the Centenary Methodist Church was built and named for the the fact that the religious reawakening of the church was about one-hundred years after the Aldersgate experience of John Wesley.
