Thought to have been built in 1866, the Calvary M.E. Church (also referred to as Bishop Methodist Church) is a small church located in what remains of the Glass Hill community. Once the heart of the community, the church remains a symbol of Glass Hill and the African American community built around it. The old Glass Hill School, first built in the 1870s, once stood across from this church until being moved into the town of Pittsville in the 1980s. Both appear on the 1877 Atlas of Wicomico, Somerset, and Worcester Counties. Today, the Glass Hill Cemetery stands across from the church.
