ABOUT US

HISTORY
Before the American Revolution, Bishop Francis Asbury visited Elk Ridge Landing, eventually establishing a small society here in what we today simply call Elkridge. As a result of their experiences with God through Bishop Asbury’s visits, the people called Methodists built a meeting house in Elkridge that over time has become what we know as Melville Chapel.
MISSION
To live, teach and share the love of Jesus to the local community and beyond through worship, education and fellowship.

VISION
â– Melville Chapel, followers of Jesus, makes disciples in the Elkridge community to share Christ’s love and serve others through ministry and fellowship.
