Christ Church, Frederica, Saint Simons Island,
Georgia was established in 1736 by John and
Charles Wesley, founders of Methodism, who
came to Georgia at this time as missionaries
of the Church of England. The present church
edifice was built in 1884 by Anson Green
Phelps Dodge, Jr., as a memorial to his wife,
Ellen Ada Phelps Dodge. Mr. Dodge then took
Holy Orders and became the rector of the
church which he had built, serving until his
death in 1898.
