215. Methodism Moves To Missouri – Old McKendree Chapel – New McKendree Youth

old mckendree

Old McKendree Chapel located in Jackson, Missouri is the first Methodist church built west of the Mississippi River and likely the oldest Protestant church still standing west of the Mississippi.  It is the site of the first camp meeting, the first class meeting and the first congregation in Missouri.  The first session of the Missouri Annual Conference was held in the newly built church in 1819.  It is named after Bishop McKendree who was the fourth Methodist bishop and the first Methodist bishop to have been born in the United States.  He preached at a camp meeting on the site the year before the church was erected.  Old McKendree Chapel is open daily from dusk to dawn and is available for special events and services.  This MissionCast was taped Sunday morning as the New McKendree United Methodist Youth conducted a sunrise service.
