Our Story

The church was founded in 1881 as the Maple Street AME Church, located in a building on Maple Street in Fall River. Five years later, in 1886, it was reincorporated under its current name, Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church Fall River, and since then, has been affectionately known in the community as "Bethel Fall River. In 1917, the church moved to its current location, 146 Hanover Street in Fall River. The church is historically significant because it is one of the longest-serving African-American/Black congregations in Fall River.
