Goodwin Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
Goodwin Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, African Methodist Episcopal Church in Amherst, Massachusetts.
The Goodwin Memorial Church features Craftsman architectural elements with exposed rafter ends and shingled walls on Woodside Avenue in Amherst, Massachusetts.
The church construction began after members of Zion Chapel, built on Amherst College property in 1869, formed a congregation seeking an independent place of worship.
Moses Goodwin, who owned a bicycle repair shop in town, contributed to administrative functions while his wife Anna Reed operated a boarding house for college students.
The National Register of Historic Places listed building maintains regular services, bible study sessions, and hosts numerous community gatherings throughout the year.
On September 21, 2014, Bishop Mildred B. Hines made history at this church as the first woman elected bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
