St. Peter's AME Zion Church
St. Peter's AME Zion Church, Gothic Revival church in New Bern, United States
St. Peter's AME Zion Church stands as a rectangular brick structure with a gabled nave and two-story truncated stair towers at 615 Queen Street.
The church emerged from St. Andrews Chapel in 1864, marking the first African Methodist Episcopal Zion congregation established in North Carolina and the Southern states.
The building played a central role in civil rights movements, hosting NAACP meetings and experiencing racial tensions through car bombings in January 1965.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features, including Late Gothic Revival and Craftsman design elements.
The property includes a 1926 parsonage constructed in American Craftsman style, complementing the main brick church building built between 1923 and 1942.
