John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church was built on Annapolis Neck Road with the cemetery occupying the adjacent property in 1875.  It stood as a beacon for the Annapolis Neck Community until it was consumed by fire in the early 1930's.  As a result of that fire, many of the church's documents were destroyed.

During the year of 1890, a few men and women living in Eastport desiring to worship in the "Methodist" faith decided to hold meetings in an old wood shed on the property of Mr. James Anderson.  The following ear 1891, this group of worshippers formed a congregation and became a part of the "Severn Circuit".  In 1891, a larger church was build at 612 Second Street and named Mount Zion.  John Wesley, Fowlers Chapel were united and became the "Eastport Circuit" in 1899.

The existence of John Wesley for all these years is evidence that it has the ability to learn from it's many challenges.  By faith we were able to solve and overcome the many adversities of kingdom building.  We were able to continue to move faithfully and testify to the faith of past and current members, who continue to be dedicated leaders and worshippers of the church.  John Wesley sprung forth from a humble beginning, with much faith, great pastors, thriving leadership, committment and dedication.  Those who continue the journey will stand at the threshold of God's sanctuary in the presence of John Wesley's future.  

Some of the earlier saints of the church were:  Thomas Kent, Sr., Daniel Forrester, Anthony Murray, Robert Isaacs, Jesse Brashears, Clinton Wallace and Moses Gross.  Numerous items were purchased or donated to the church.  Inclusive of the property for the church, the cemetery, and the parsonage were a piano, bibles, hymnals, altar crosses, communion set, offering plates, lectern for the altar, guest registers, and a Christian flag.  Some of the organizations of the church were te Ladies Aid Society, Women's Home Missionary, Society, Epworth League, Ladies Auxillary, and The Who-So-Ever-Will Club.  The following organizations were established at John Wesley:  Singing and Praying Band, WIlling Workers, Building Fund Committee, Buying Committee, and the Senior Gospel and Youth Choirs.
