He has been called the “Maverick of Methodism” and “the First Apostle of American Methodism.” Robert Strawbridge was a Pioneer of American Methodism and the first Methodist Circuit Rider in the United States. Strawbridge immigrated from his home in Ireland and traveled to Maryland where he is credited for establishing the first Methodist Society in American history. He did this without an official appointment, without a formal ordination, and without waiting for permission. His passion and vigor helped lay the groundwork for what would become a nationwide movement. The contribution of Robert Strawbridge to the Methodist Movement cannot be denied, and his legacy is woven into the very foundation of American Methodism.
