It was started in 1896 in a Late Gothic Revival style and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. [1]

It is a one-story wood building with one-over-one double-hung windows with pointed transoms. It had a steeple at its northwest corner which was removed sometime after 1955. It has clapboard siding and it has diamond and fishscale wood shingles in its gable ends. A rear wing was added sometime between 1903 and 1910; the north end of that rear wing had a wrap-around porch which was enclosed by 1955. [2]

Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) United States historic place

Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. The congregation was established in either 1870 or 1871, which makes this the oldest historically African American church in the city. It had 23 pastors from its inception to 1928, which followed the African Methodist Episcopal Church's practice of itinerant pastors. The congregation grew slowly over this same period. Many African Americans came to Cedar Rapids after the coal industry in Southern Iowa began to collapse. The Rev. Benjamin Horace Lucas, who became pastor here in 1928, was also a catalyst for growth in the congregation. Completed in 1931, this brick Colonial Revival structure replaced a wood frame structure from 1876. Since its completion, it has served the social and religious needs of the community. It is one of the few surviving links to Cedar Rapid's early African American community as this neighborhood has been nearly obliterated by the development of Mercy Medical Center.
