The people of Edenton Street United Methodist Church have worshiped God on the corner of Edenton and Dawson Streets in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina since 1811. Edenton Street was founded that year following a conference of Methodist ministers in Raleigh under the leadership of Bishop Francis Asbury. Since our founding, Edenton Street has shared fully in the life of this community and the nation, both in the times of prosperity and in the impacts of the Civil War, two World Wars and other conflicts, and the Great Depression. For over two centuries, Edenton Street has sought to faithfully fulfill its mission: “Sharing Christ from the Heart of Raleigh.” Throughout almost two centuries, Edenton Street has been faithfully “Sharing Christ from the Heart of Raleigh.”
