Bethlehem Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic Methodist church located at Taylor's Island, Dorchester County, Maryland. It was built in 1857, and is a gable-front common bond brick church across the road from a mid-19th century cemetery.
The Gothic Revival Victorian church has an octagonal belfry above which is an octagonal dome with a spire superimposed and covered in copper, making it look like an inverted ice cream cone. It is the best example of a mid-19th century Methodist chapel in Dorchester County and retains its original interior.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
