In 1760, Nathaniel Gilbert introduced Methodism in Antigua. The Methodist Society in Antigua was formed and the first church was known as the Methodist Chapel. The first Ebenezer Church was then built. The constructed of the second Ebenezer Church, St. Mary's St., began on February 10th 1837 and rebuilt after the earthquake of 1843. The church underwent major renovations in 1936 – 1937. It was once again rebuilt after the earthquake of 1974.
