Bethel Chapel Methodist church (colored) is at the intersection of Tenth and Bunten streets. It has been an organization for many years. Its present pastor is Rev. Robt. H. Williamson, who conducts regular Sabbath service and Sunday school and holds prayer meetings every Wednesday night. THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The year 1833 is the date when Presbyterianism in Vincennes had its second rise, because it was at this period when a certain number of persons withdrew from the Indiana church. As has been previously stated, the Indiana church, of which Vincennes Presbyterians were communicants, was organized in 18o6--such an organization having been perfected in a barn owned by Col. Small, about two miles northeast of Vincennes and about midway between the courthouse and the site now occupied by the Upper Indiana church. The courthouse was for many years prior to 1833 used as a place of Divine worship by Vincennes Presbyterians, who were of the congregation and, hence, a part of the original church organization. The oldest record book extant of the sessions of the Indiana' church, from August 12, 1812, to September 29, 1844, shows that previous to the organization of the Vincennes church the meetings of sessions were held at Lower Meeting House, Upper Meeting House and Vincennes, and as often, or oftener, in Vincennes than either of the other places, which were located in the country. The synod met at Vincennes and held their meetings and the Lord's Supper here as early as 1828.

Issachar Bates (1758-1837) was a Revolutionary War veteran in rural upstate New York who, at the age of forty-three, abruptly turned from his family life to become a celibate Shaker. He immediately became instrumental in Shakerism's westward expansion, and his personal charisma, persuasive preaching, and musical talent helped stimulate the movement's growth. Bates drew "western" converts in abundance, profoundly changing the character of Shakerism by increasing its geographic reach. He also helped shape the Shakers' unique theology and hymnody through his many influential texts and songs.
