Many of the names and dates on the tombstones in the churchyard are from the 19th century. Bishop Francis Asbury preached in the ""All Saints Parish"". of which Socastee was a part, in about 1795 the only shelter being a brush arbor. On April 30,1818, one half acre of land was deeded to the Socastee United Methodist Church by Philip Elkes. About that time a log-cabin sanctuary was built on what is now the southwest corner of the church cemetery. Around 1875 a new sanctuary was built on what is now the southwest corner of the church cemetery . A round 1875 a new sanctuary was built ( which we call our Old Sanctuary today) and the log cabin was torn down. The churchs first organ was purchased around 1890 and electricity was available in 1925.A Fellowship Hall was built in 1978, a parsonage in 1980 and ground was broken in 1987 for the new larger sanctuary that we worship in today. In march 2002 the Fellowship Hall was lost to fire. The parsonage then became the only meeting space for Sunday School classes and The Learning Center. The new parsonage was built and first occupied by Pastor Ray and Sarah Smith in December 2003. In October 2004 ground was broken once again for the construction of a new Fellowship Hall
