Historic Bethel AME Church
Historic Bethel AME Church
AI Summary
Rooted in the city’s history as the first and oldest predominantly African American church in St. Petersburg, Historic Bethel worships in a 1922 sanctuary in the neighborhood once known as “Methodist Town,” guided by the call of 2 Peter 3:18 to grow in grace. Visitors can come early for a warm Sunday breakfast at 7:45am, then join Bible Discovery at 8:45am and Morning Worship at 10:00am, with a midday “Wednesday in the Word” Bible study each week at 12:00pm. Prayer and reflection continue beyond the campus through a phone Prayerline and Meditation ministry (605-313-6236, code 292841#). Deeply engaged in Tampa Bay, the church hosts Community Health Fairs offering checkups, vaccine information, and Medicare/Medicaid updates, stays connected on Facebook and Instagram, and joyfully marks milestones such as recent 125th and 129th anniversary celebrations.
