Trappe Pilgrim (Wesleyan) Churchs' history began as the result of a tent meeting held in the Landing Neck Area near Trappe in September 1899. The church then named "Emmanuel Chapel" was built, being dedicated on August 24, 1902. The church was fully organized in February 1904. The entire structure of the sanctuary was badly damaging by fire in 1945. The brick structure which is the present sanctuary was built in 1946.
