 In
1838 property for a church building in Newbridge (now
Bellmore) was purchased for $100 by the "Trustees of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Hempstead South, or
Merrick." The parcel lay on the north side of South
Oysterbay Turnpike Road (current-day Merrick Road) where
Ace Hardware is today. A year later, in June 1839 these
trustees incorporated the Methodist Episcopal Church of
Newbridge The congregation has occupied three buildings
- the first is pictured left, after its
expansion in 1884. The second building,
constructed in 1912, is located on the corner of Royle
Street and St Marks Avenue and is still in use by the
church as our chapel. The third and current
Sanctuary building, on Clarendon Avenue, was built
in 1958.
