Appenzeller founded the first Korean Methodist Church in 1885, while Methodist schools were also established in 1885 and 1886.
In 1885, Appenzeller became the founder of the Chungdong First Methodist Church, the first Korean Methodist Church. In the same period, the Methodist Paichai School for boys was founded in 1885, and the Methodist Ewha School for girls followed in 1886, later becoming Ewha Womans University. These schools are attributed to the Methodist Church rather than to Appenzeller personally.
