Coke Methodist Church was named after Dr. Thomas Coke, founder of the Methodist Missions in the West Indies. It was built in 1840 on the site of the first Methodist Chapel built in Jamaica.

This Church was severely damaged in the 1907 earthquake and the present building dates from that time. It was rebuilt in the basic neo-Gothic style of the original Church.
