New Jersey, Calvary United Methodist Church Records, 1821-2003

What is in This Collection?

This collection contains church registers, membership rolls, minutes, etc. of the Calvary United Methodist Church (formerly known as Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church) in Keyport, Monmouth County, New Jersey. This collection is being published as images become available.

The church began keeping records as soon as it was organized. The church kept records to know who were members, to track important events in their lives, and to protect their legal interests.

Church records are considered a primary source. They are usually reliable because they are kept by the minister, or a clerk appointed by the minister, who usually recorded an event at or very near the time it occurred.
