Greater Bethel AME Church, Mediterranean Revival church in Downtown Miami, United States
The Greater Bethel AME Church features a grand stone exterior structure at 245 Northwest 8th Street, designed by architects John Sculthorpe and H.S. Bragg.
The church construction extended from 1927 to 1943, with the congregation following a pay-as-you-go approach to fund the building project.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the SCLC Crusade For Citizenship speech at this location on February 12, 1958, marking a pivotal moment.
The church building serves as both a religious center and community gathering space, offering various programs and activities for local residents.
As one of Miami's first African-American congregations, established in March 1896, the church received National Register of Historic Places status in 1992.
