About Little Marsh Chapel AME Zion Church
Our Mission
At Little Marsh Chapel AME Zion Church, we spread the message of peace and love through Jesus Christ. Rooted in faith, we are committed to evangelism, discipleship, community, liberation, and service. Guided by the call to “Touch Heaven to Change Earth,” we seek to bring hope, healing, and love to all. We endeavor “Love God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with our entire mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.”
Our Beliefs
The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church professes the historical faith in God, who by Himself – outpouring, was manifest incarnate in Jesus Christ for our salvation. By God’s grace and the power of His Holy Spirit all believers become the new humanity. The incarnation having reached its completion in Jesus, who is the Christ, is continuing in the Church and is overcoming the calamity of the human predicament. We strive in the hope that the Church will grow from sinful existence through purification to oneness with God.
Our Heritage in doctrine and our present theological task demand that we renew our faith and understanding of the love of God, our Father, and the Lordship of His Son, Jesus. We believe that all who have faith in Him will be empowered and invigorated by the Holy Spirit to risk all for the reconciling work and fulfillment of the Kingdom of God.

Our History
The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was founded in 1796 in New York City, born from a desire for freedom, dignity, and equality in worship. Known as the Freedom Church, AME Zion has been a voice for faith and justice, producing leaders such as Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass.
Little Marsh Chapel carries forward this powerful legacy in our own community. From our beginnings as a gathering place for faith and fellowship, we have grown into a church family committed to nurturing spiritual growth, strengthening families, and serving as a beacon of hope. With hearts lifted to heaven and hands reaching out in service, we continue to live out our calling to “Touch Heaven to Change Earth.”
