Answer: Moravians

Step-by-step explanation:

The Moravians were one of the earliest denominations to arrive in North America when they arrived in 1735. They had arrived to reach to Native Americans, Enslaved Africans and German immigrants.

Around the year 1801 the Moravians reached the Cherokee in Southeast North America and established a station in present day Georgia known as the Springplace Mission and stayed for 30 years thereby becoming the first and longest serving missionaries with the Cherokee.
