Estellville Methodist Church, formerly known as Stephens Creek Meeting House, was built in 1834. Land was donated by John E. Estell of Weymouth Township, Gloucester County. The society was incorporated on December 10, 1831, as part of the Bargaintown Circuit, and existed when the New Jersey Conference was organized in 1836. It became part of the Mays Landing Circuit when separated from the Bargaintown Circuit in 1852.

The church served more than 30 families, but attendance eventually declined, as did the glass, lumber, and iron industries in the area. When, in 1917, Bethlehem Steel built a shell loading plant along the South River the church closed for good. Through the efforts of the Friends of Old Estellville Methodist Church Committee, an anniversary service is held every year on the first Sunday in October.
