Old Bethel United Methodist Church is located at 222 Calhoun Street, Charleston, South Carolina.

[2][3] Originally built about 1797/1798 for the Bethel Methodist congregation, after 1854 this structure was moved from its first place on the site and reserved for its black members.

[2] A nineteenth-century minister and church historian described these events as "the heaviest blow Methodism ever received in Charleston.

[2] After the Civil War, this black congregation was led for a period by Henry Cardozo, a pastor who later became a politician.

One of his brothers was Francis Lewis Cardozo, who was elected as Secretary of State of South Carolina during the Reconstruction era.

They moved it across the corner to Calhoun Street, giving it a new address, and renamed it as Old Bethel Methodist Church.

[2] Both this building and the 1854 Bethel Methodist Church were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
