Asbury United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in the Trinity Heights neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina.
History
The church was established in 1894 as West Durham Methodist Episcopal Church South in West Durham.[1][2]
The current building, designed by Greensboro architect Harry Barton, was completed in 1926 in the Trinity Heights neighborhood.[1][2] As part of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the congregation was racially segregated and excluded African-Americans until the 1950s.[1] The congregation was renamed Asbury Methodist Church in 1944.[2]
In 2021, the church formed the Durham Central Mission Cooperative with three other United Methodist congregations, Iglesia La Aemilla, Six:Eight Church, and Airo Community.[1]
