York Chapel United Methodist Church (Longtown, Missouri)

York Chapel is a former United Methodist Church in Longtown, Missouri.

The religious leader serving the colony was Jones Abernathy.

[1] The congregation decided to replace the log church with a more permanent structure, and in 1843 the construction on the ‘Rock Church’ was begun, with its name deriving from the limestone used to build the structure.

In 1844, construction on the Rock Church was finished, and the congregation continued to worship there for 70 years until 1914 when a new structure of brick and stone was erected near the spot of the old camp-meeting tabernacle.

The present brick and stone church building was dedicated by Reverend W. F. McMurry.
