Kiner and J. T. Horton. A lot was purchased from Mrs. Millie Alston in 1897 and a building was moved there. While the building was being renovated, services were held in Sharon Township Hall. Originally named Bethel A.M.E. Church, the name changed when a new church was built in 1914. This picture shows the old church's interior.
