Ebenezer AME Church Choir (Fort Wash MD)
The history of Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church is one rooted in FAITH. Since moving from the Georgetown section of Washington, DC to Allentown Road in Fort Washington, Maryland, Ebenezer has taken many steps of faith, and has been blessed exceedingly and abundantly. Theirs is a great story. Some people call it “The Miracle on Allentown Road.”
Ebenezer’s website notes their beginning is reminiscent of the origins of the A.M.E Church. In 1856, thirteen “colored members” left Mt. Zion Methodist Episcopal Church in Georgetown because of discrimination and segregation. As written by one of the founding members, they wanted to “establish a church by colored folks with colored pastors,” where they would worship in dignity, spirit and truth.
