Asbury Broadneck United Methodist Church is an historical African American church. It is reported that the church began before 1851 when enslaved men of African decent started meeting at a placed called “Old School House Hill” to praise God in their own way. This was before they could afford a church house. But, the first church was built only yards from the original meeting location on St. Margaret’s Road, which is now Meeting House Lane south of Route 50 east of Annapolis, MD.
