Bethel AME Church

Bethel A.M.E. Church in Huntington, NY, stands as the oldest African-American Church in the area, with a rich history spanning over 156 years. Founded by brickyard workers from the Crossman Brickyards, the church has been a vital hub of African-American community life.

Located on property purchased in 1844 from the Huntington Methodist Church, Bethel A.M.E. Church continues to honor its founders and their families, who are laid to rest in a small church-yard cemetery behind the church. Despite the loss of early records in a fire, the church's legacy endures through its historic presence in the community.
