Bethel A.M.E. Church
God-focused, praying, relational Christian fellowship
About Us
Bethel has been serving members of the Manhattan, Kansas community since former slaves from Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Georgia organized it in 1879. Throughout it's history, Bethel has played a significant role in providing the community with the resources it needs for each believer to be his/her best self for God, each other and the world. Bethel has sponsored renowned revivalists and challenged the -isms that tend to divide people. Bethel is truly a house of God where anyone and everyone can reach their full potential for God.
