Greater Bethel AME Church, African Methodist Episcopal church in Harlem, Manhattan, United States.
The limestone and brick religious building stands at the intersection of Malcolm X Boulevard and West 123rd Street in the Mount Morris Park Historic District.
Founded in 1819 in Lower Manhattan, the congregation moved to its current building, a former Harlem Library designed by Edgar K. Bourne in 1891.
The church maintains its position as a central institution for African American religious and social activities in the Harlem neighborhood.
Visitors can find Greater Bethel AME Church at 32 West 123rd Street, where regular worship services and community events take place.
The structure represents a transformation from a public library to a religious space, retaining architectural elements from both purposes.
