A history of Aldergate Methodist Church would be incomplete without an account of the original Marsh Harbour Methodist Society, which was opened in 1845, with a Sunday School of twelve pupils and one teacher.

In 1985, new Marsh Harbour congregation was formed with 14 members. The first service of this group was held at home of Sister Agatha Archer on September 1, 1985, and conducted by the Rev. Charles Carey. Subsequently, weekly services were held at the homes of members. Brother Peter Campbell, the one surviving leader from the old society was elected society Steward, and eventually became the Circuits first Lay Pastor, a post from which he retired recently.

On May 1, 1987, ground was broken for the construction of a chapel on Crown Land leased through negotiation by Sister Agatha Archer. Work progressed steadily under the able leadership of Brother Percival Archer, Gordon Hudson, Rayan Archer, George Reviere, and Arnold Edwards. On May 1, 1998, the new edifice was dedicated. The membership grew to 24.

We rejoice that God has raised two ministers for the Methodist Church, from the offspring of this congregation in the persons of the Reverend Carl Campbell, and the Reverend Dr. Colin Archer.
