Bright Temple AME Church 812 Faile Street, The Bronx, NY 10474

Welcome to Bright Temple AME Church

Located at 812 Faile Street in the vibrant Bronx, New York, Bright Temple AME Church proudly serves as a beacon of faith, community, and empowerment. As a cherished place of worship, our church is deeply rooted in the rich traditions and transformative mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME Church).

Our congregation is part of the first major religious denomination in the Western World that emerged from a profound response to sociological and theological challenges. The AME Church was born out of a protest against the injustices of slavery and the dehumanization of African people. Our guiding belief is that God is ever-present and inclusive, embracing all individuals regardless of race or background.

At Bright Temple AME Church, we are committed to ministering to the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and environmental needs of our community. We actively engage in spreading Christ’s liberating gospel through both word and deed, in line with the mission of the AME Church. Our church endeavors to uphold the spirit of the original Free African Society, prioritizing outreach to the lost and service to the needy.

Join us in our journey of faith as we continue to build a welcoming and supportive community. Whether you are seeking spiritual growth, community involvement, or a deeper understanding of your faith, Bright Temple AME Church invites you to be a part of our family. Together, let us celebrate our unique and glorious history while working towards a brighter future for all.
