Over 200 years later, the Bethlehem A.M.E. congregation meets to worship in Langhorne.

Founded in 1809, Bethlehem AME Church in Langhorne is proud to be “the oldest house of worship established by People of Color in Bucks County” and the third oldest Black church in the country.

Bethlehem A.M.E. joined Heritage Conservancy’s Register of Historic Places in 1979. The church’s current Pastor, Rev. Jacqueline Pinkney, is proud of its storied history and its active role in both its community and in the larger story of Black faith in the US.

What is the Motus data revealing?
