While much of the early history of Rembert’s Church is rather indefinite it is clear that its history is directly parallel to the history of Methodism in South Carolina, in being among the very first to be established by Bishop Asbury. The beloved Bishop’s journal carried many references to visits there. His first service was held about 1786. Many times during his visits he would stay at “Rembert Hall” the hospitable home of Colonel and Mrs. James Rembert. The site of Rembert’s Church was for many years a camp ground where annual camp meetings were held. These meetings were continued for many years, and persons from great distances attended. The tents were comfortably built with fireplaces. The schoolhouse was used as the preacher’s tent. Bishop Asbury was present with this group as often as he could when in this neighborhood, as was Rev. James Jenkins who writes in his “Memoirs” that he preached at Rembert’s Church, and prayed with sinners sometimes throughout the nights. The present cemetery has existed for many years and many noted and well-loved ones are buried there. Among the first to be put there was Abijah Rembert, father of James English Rembert, in 1808 his funeral was preached by Bishop Asbury. In 1834 Caleb Rembert deeded eight acres to nine trustees for the use of the Methodist Church. John A. Colellough gave an adjacent tract of 2.5 acres. Rev. W.W. Mood writes, “ The present church (Johnson, the Contractor) was built in 1839-40. It is a very substantially built, and very nicely finished in every respect. There is a gallery on the end--- the ten large sash are conveniently hung with pulleys---the pulpit is an octagon shape and is entered by two flights of steps.” Rembert's Church has lost it’s gallery and extremely high pulpit, but it is still a sturdy and well built building-----and the present Rembert Church Cemetery Association intends to keep it so, ( Note: the Church was severely damaged and many of the surrounding trees were destroyed by hurricane Hugo in 1989. The Rembert Church Association raised the funds to repair the building to its original state). There has been an active group of trustees since the original nine trustees received the land for the Church from Caleb Rembert in 1834. They, and the Association members and families meet annually the second Saturday in October for a day of fellowship, picnic lunch and a real reunion.
