This is a list of the African-American Churches. Some have space pages and/or categories but many do not. I would propose that there be a Team Leader for this effort to research the history of each church, the past members of it's congregation and the role of the church in African-American history.

History of the Black Church[3]

By 1780 black preachers began to appear and later black congregations mainly Baptist became more prevalent. During the antebellum South the majority of the slaves attended church with white folks. But they also attended secret meetings in the slave quarters.

most black congregations belong to predominantly African American Protestant denominations, such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) or Church of God in Christ (COGIC), many others are in predominantly white Protestant denominations such as the United Church of Christ (which developed from the Congregational Church of New England), or in integrated denominations such as the Church of God. There are also many Black Catholic churches. ^[1]^[2]

After the civil war, the black church leaders became more active in politics, and the advancement of the black community.

I don't see a Mount Vernon Church of Christ in Columbus...there is a Mt. Vernon Avenue AME Church. There is a Mount Vernon Church of Christ in Mount Vernon, OH and it does not appear to be an AA congregation.https://www.mtvernoname.com/new-page-1 Is this the correct church?

The name was later changed to Genessee Ave Church of Christ. My husband's grandfather was one of the original founders of this church. the other Mount Vernon in Mount Vernon, OH is a totally different congregation.
