Chester County Methodist Churches
There are many Methodist churches in Chester County.
Atglen Methodist (AKA Asbury Community United Methodist Church)
Penningtonville Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1853 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Penningtonville became a borough in 1876 and changed its name to Atglen, at which point the church changed its name to Atglen Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1997, Atglen United Methodist Church and nearby Gap United Methodist Church merged, creating Asbury Community United Methodist Church, which met at the Atglen location until it was discontinued in 2002. There is a large cemetery beside the church.

Coventryville United Methodist
In 1774, the Methodist circuit of preachers, known as the Chester Circuit reached Coventry and a Methodist Society was formed there. Mrs. Rebecca Grace, part owner of the Coventry Forge and Warwick Furnace, was instrumental in establishing the church in Coventryville, one of the oldest Methodist churches in the county. The Grace family donated the land on which the first church would be built. Completed in 1813, the building was named Grace Hall and was located within what is now the Coventryville Cemetery.
Grace Hall served the congregation until 1862, when the current church was built, closer to Old Ridge Road on land donated by George Chrisman, Sr.
