This was first church built in Sierra Leone in 1809. Methodism started in 1792 by freed slaves. There was an ecumenical service held under the cotton tree after freedom was declared. The church was led by the local leaders and it flourished. Then message was sent to Britain for a minister. Thomas Cooke sent Warren and three teachers from Halifax and Brunswick. They arrived at 5.30pm on 12 November 1811. Bunmi
