St. Paul A.M.E. Church in Zanesville, Ohio is one of the oldest and most respected churches in the community and Southeastern Ohio region. Founded in 1876, it is a Methodist Episcopal Church that follows Methodist doctrine and discipline, holding a general conference every four years.
The church has a rich historical background, being part of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which was formally organized in the United States in 1816. It traces its roots back to a congregation that formed in Philadelphia in 1787, after a group of blacks withdrew from St. George's Methodist Episcopal Church due to seating restrictions. St. Paul A.M.E. Church is actively involved in various community ministries, including local and global missions, outreach to the disadvantaged, and youth programs.
