Davis's book onBucks County mentions:
The Bensalem Methodist Episcopal church is a flourishing organization.

When the congregation was first organized we do not know, but down to 1810
the meetings were held at private houses. For several years previous they
held an annual camp-meeting in one of the pleasant groves of the
township, holding it in Jacob Hellings' woods in 1804. The congregation
felt numerous and strong enough by 1810 to erect a church, and a house was
built that year on a lot given by Joseph Rodman.
