The original "Plum Point Chapel" was built sometime between 1789 and 1810. Not far from the "Chapel" was a small frame building used as a community meeting house. It was later used as a schoolhouse for Blacks. By 1867 the congregation was split over slavery and some members left and formed the Emmanuel Methodist Church. Those left behind worshipped there until 1894 when they found it difficult to continue. The Black congregation, which had been worshipping in the community hall and schoolhouse, were given first option to buy the property for $700 on the condition that the graves not be disturbed.
June 9, 1894, was a red-letter day in the history of Plum Point Church. The property was purchased. August 9, 1894, was set apart as "Rally Day" to raise the money to make the first payment. The collection amounted to $307. On August 21, 1894, the Trustees of both congregations met to make the sale 'official' with a down payment of $300. The final payment was made in 1898.
Church records indicate that Plum Point Church was a part of the Huntingtown Charge established in 1875 with eight churches. In 1899, the eight churches were divided into two charges, Plum Point, Patuxent, Young's and St. John's. This became the Prince Frederick Charge. About four years later Conference Minutes indicate that the name changed to Huntingtown Circuit. It was recorded that Bishop Francis Asbury visited "Plumb Point" on at least one of his trips to the "Calvert Circuit".
The Plum Point Church building has retained much of its original character, although improvements have been made through the years.
The congregation celebrates the anniversary of its purchase on the third Sunday of August each year - 'Annual Homecoming Day".
