Abstract

This collection contains a photocopy of the history of the Salem United Methodist Church as well as a copy of the appointments of the Peninsula Delaware Conference of 2008.

Administrative History

The Salem Church at Selbyville, formerly known as Sandy Branch, started with the organization of a Methodist Society in 1790. In the spring of 1790, a basket meeting was held in the grove at Sandy Beach, at which 28 people were converted. A log chapel was built here and two traveling preachers were in charge of worship.
