First Methodist Church Plate, alternate back

Text

On this plate is an image of the First Methodist Church Glassboro, N.J. in 1854. The back of the plate reads "In a borrowed schoolhouse, the first congregation of the Associated Methodist Church was organized in 1829. In 1839, $140.00 was paid for the present site of 1 34/100 acres of land in the woods. Ebenezer Methodist Protestant church was built in 1840 at a cost of $703.43. In 1939 the Methodist Episcopal and the Methodist Protestant churches merged. The Glassboro church along with other Methodist Protestant churches in order to worship under their own constitution formed the Bible Protestant Conference and renamed the church Trinity Protestant Church. Today, 150 years later, with a new addition and a new name, Trinity Bible Church is still holding forth the Word of God."
