From our humble beginnings, Bethel has strived to remain true to God’s calling for our church. We’ve sought to be willing to step out in visionary faith and take risks for God, and He has blessed us for that. In looking back at Bethel’s history, we can clearly see God at work.

Bethel Church of Morristown lives the mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, ministering to the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and environmental needs of all people by spreading Christ’s liberating gospel through word and deed. Our Mission is rooted in the foundation laid by Bishop Richard Allen, who in the City of Philadelphia in 1787 started the movement that later became the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
