African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was officially formed in 1821, but has roots in the 1700's. Several African Americans left the John Street Methodist Church due to discrimination and formed their own congregation. The first church built by AMEZ was named Zion. This church grew and more congregations developed. The AMEZ church has been named the Freedom Church because of its ties to the emancipation of slaves and role in the Abolitionist movement.
Today the church works with the global community with mission work and volunteer service with the goal to spread the gospel and God's love. They have information on the COVID-19 pandemic and links to online webinars and worship. -
