About Fork United Methodist Church
Fork United Methodist Church, located in Fork, Maryland, stands as one of the oldest Methodist congregations in the United States, tracing its roots to 1771 when James Baker opened his home as a preaching place after hearing John King's sermon in Baltimore. The church has celebrated over 250 years of continual ministry, with notable early preacher Francis Asbury recording nineteen visits between 1771 and 1815. Today, Fork UMC remains dedicated to serving its community and fostering spiritual growth, welcoming visitors to join the congregation for weekly worship and fellowship. The church building itself reflects the community's long history, having evolved from a log chapel built in 1773 to the brick structure that stands today with educational facilities added in the twentieth century. Visitors are invited to experience this historic faith community where neighbors gather to worship, sing hymns, and connect Scripture to daily life.
