Union Bethel A.M.E. Church
Union Bethel A.M.E. Church, African Methodist Episcopal church in New Orleans, United States.
The Gothic Revival structure on Thalia Street features traditional architectural elements including detailed stained glass windows and a prominent cornerstone dated 1911.
Founded in 1862 by Reverend William Foster and sixty members, the congregation initially met at various locations before acquiring the current site in 1883.
The church served as a meeting point during the Civil Rights Movement, with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. conducting activities within its walls.
The church maintains regular worship services and operates the Sarah Allen Child Development Center, providing educational support to local families.
In 2014, the church received a 3.4 million dollar FEMA grant to reconstruct its Four Freedoms Building, enhancing its community service capabilities.
