Wesley Chapel Church History in Catawba County
Wesley Chapel in Catawba County near the South Fork river traces its founding to about 1832. Land for the church and campground was donated by Berry Abernethy, a Mt Holly native, who later moved to Caldwell County and died there. Founders include Turner Abernethy Alfred Ramsour Rev John Hoyle and Humphrey Hoyle, with the oldest member Moses Abernethy born 1820 and joining in 1842. The site evolved from a log church to a white frame building with a civic arbor replaced in recent years. Annual revivals and a fall dale meeting draw large crowds, the latest in September attracting over a thousand attendees.
