Frequently Asked Questions

When are you going to build at 311 N. Cherry St.?
The community told us during focus groups and surveys that a community center is needed, so the new Bethel Chapel AMEC will be in the Pleasant Square Community Center (PSCC). We are shovel ready. Watch this space for updates.

 Why don’t you join efforts with Zion Baptist and have one black church?
Much like neighbors who live in separate houses and apartments are all part of the community, Bethel AME Church and Zion Baptist Church are both part of Jesus’ one “Church”. We labor together in God’s Kingdom. Just as we would not necessarily expect neighbors to join their households, we don’t expect to “move in with” Zion, but we are blessed to work in unity together and to be in fellowship as we hope to be in neighborly relationship with all houses of faith. 

Does Bethel have the money that was donated to help rebuild?
Yes, every penny donated for rebuilding is in an interest producing account at The Warren County Foundation and will be used to build Bethel Chapel inside the PSCC.
