A mission (church) is believed to have existed as early as 1760 and Bethesda was formally organized about 1769 or 1770. From 1800 to 1863, the congregation held large camp meetings associated with the Second Great Awakening."cite web|url=http://www.nationalregister.sc.gov/york/S10817746005/index.htm
