McBee Methodist Church, also known as McBee Chapel, is a historic, octagonal, brick, Methodist church building on Main Street in Conestee, Greenville County, South Carolina. Built in 1856,[2] it was designed by millwright John Adams and named for Vardry McBee (1775-1864), the "Father of Greenville," whose son donated the money to build it.[3][4][5]

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 23, 1972.[1]
