White House Global Methodist Church, also known as the White Meeting House and White Church, is a historic Global Methodist Church located near Bowman, South Carolina. It was built about 1850, and is a one-story, rectangular frame meeting house style building. It forms one-of three campuses of the Bowman Charge Global Methodist Church in the area, with Ebenezer and Wightman Global Methodist Churches being the other two members. White House Global Methodist houses the oldest Methodist congregation in Orangeburg County, dating back to the late 1780s. Francis Asbury visited the congregation in 1801 and 1803. [2] [3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. [1]

On June 11, 2024, the church announced its termination from the United Methodist Church, and will join the Global Methodist Church.
