Centre Presbyterian Church & Cemetery

This church is no longer in Mecklenburg Co. and has been included because the members first met two miles north of Davidson College in the Osbornes Meeting House and organized in 1765. The name was chosen because of its relation to other settlements. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1775 and Centre was rebuilt in its present location.

Asbury United Methodist Church

  

Mr. Charles wrote that it was originally known as Bethesda Methodist in 1814, near its present site. For information about the older cemetery, see Bethesda Methodist Church Cemetery.
