44 Lake Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830
The congregation of Little Bethel A.M.E. Church was established in 1883, making it the first African American church in town. The congregation purchased land and constructed a building in the following year. Until the late 19th century, there was no defined nucleus of African American activity. This changed as slaves were freed and African American neighborhoods appeared throughout the town. The church is representative of this transition. The current Gothic Revival church was built in 1921, when the congregation outgrew its original structure. Little Bethel A.M.E. Church continues to serve as a religious and social center for the African American community of Greenwich. The property has been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.
