ADAMS CHAPEL A.M.E. ZION CHURCH
Around the middle part of the eighteen hundreds Mr. Adam Jackson, Mrs. Viney Hogue and Mrs. Betty Whistnant saw the need for a place to worship God in the beauty of holiness. With little or no money, the Mauney's gave a piece of land for this cause. This was our first structure. It later years there was the need for another structure. This one served the purpose well. Another one was planned under the pastorage of Rev. L.B. Falls, built Nov. 18, 1944. Also Rev. L.C. Johnson contributed. Finished under the pastorate of Rev. S.I. Clement. Later this same building was remolded while Rev. R.O. Davis was pastor. While Rev. M.L. Campbell was pastor he drew up plans for an education building. This building was finished under our present pastor, Rev. P.B. Kilgore. Under this administration, the church has purchased furniture and finished the kitchen. In the near future other things will be in the making.
The membership has grown. In 1982 alone, seventeen members were added to the church. We are now beginning a new conference year under the administration of Rev. Kilgore. We expect to make great progress in the conference year of 1982-1983.

NEW SHILOH A.M.E. ZION CHURCH MT. HOLLY, N.C.
In the year 1912, there was a man by the name of Mr. Mack Dinkins, who was very much church minded and living among church minded people, he was asked to discover a church site so they could have a church in which to worship the Lord.
The landsight was not far from the present site. Finding out that there had been a church on the spot, Mr. Dinkins questioned the type of church that had been there, and a man by the name of Mr. Jerry Tate said it was a Methodist Church.
Mr. Tate, after being questioned about the holder of the deed to the property, said a lady by the name of Ms. Mathealia Grice was the holder of the deed. So search got underway to find Ms. Grice and when she was found the decision was made to start having church again.
The name of the church was to be Mack's Chapel, but this name couldn't be used because there was another church using the same name. So after a brief discussion, Shiloh was decided upon. Thus Rev. Jonas Gordon became the first pastor of the church. At the time George W. Clinton was our Bishop.
The congregation used for a meeting place the County School in the winter until 1914, and in the summer they has a brush-harbor. Between 1914 and 1916 a church was hulled in, that is it was framed and covered. Rev.Mack Barnett became the second pastor of the church, under the next Bishop, Linwood W. Kyles.
He, Rev. Barnett, remained for a short period until conference time. He didn't return after converence. With his own hands and labor, he and the members began finishing the church on the inside. Rev. Barnett was succeeded by Rev. L. Pharr, Rev. Armstrong, Rev. Moat Rhinehrdt, Rev. Henry and Rev. Davisdon.
The second church was built in 1938 under the leadership of Rev. Barber, at which time W. J. Walls ws Bishop. Rev. Barber was succeeded by Rev. Johnson, Rev. Hamilton, Rev. Kennedy, and Rev. Mac Walton.
The structure for a new church site was built in 1967 under the leadership of Rev. Hoseph McMillian following Annual Conference; at which time R.L. Jones ws our Bishop.
The new church was dedicated under the leadership of Rev. Walter Adams, who served with us four years. Rev. Adams was moved in the middle of the Conference year of 1975 and was succeeded by Rev. Wayne C. Harris who worked with us a little over four years. During his administration, plans were made for the finishing of the Fellowship Hall, and other work that needed to be done toward the finishing fo the new Annex.
In 1979, after conference in July, Bishop Smith sent to us Rev. R.C. Jones, who is a very talented minister, who likes to do things and see things being done.
We realize the race is not to the swift nor the strong, but to them that endureth to the end, so we will continue to run on and see what the end will be.
DOGGETIS GROVE
AME ZION METHODIST CHURCH
DOGGETTS GROVE A.M.E. ZION CHURCH SANDY MUSH, FOREST CITY, N.C. 28043
Just out of slavery with no church of their own in which to worship God, a little band of believing christians held their worship service in the Butler School house. "Uncle" Sam Doggett gave some land on which to build a church in the year 1865. It was built of logs and named for the man who gave the land. The first little log church was named Doggetts Grove A.M.E. Zion Church.
The first preacher was Rev. Bill McIntire. Some of the founders were: Bro. Sam Doggett, Bro. Joe McIntire, Bro. Sam Goode, Bro. Spence Moseley, Bro. Bob McEntire, Bro. George McEntire, Bro. Joshua Ford, and Bro. Sam Mince.
Our present pastor is Rev. Ben R. Byers.
ZION HILL A.M.E. ZION CHURCH HENRIETTA, N.C.
Was organized August 31, 1912 by Bishop George W. Clinton and P.E. Elder Blake. The pastor of the church was the Rev. W.H. Gilmore at that time. Our present pastor is the Rev. M.C. Walton.
HERNDON'S CHAPEL A.M.E. ZION CHURCH Lincolnton, North Carolina
Herndon's Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church of Lincolnton, N.C. was erected in the year 1896 by the members of the community of Georgetown. The land on which the church was built, was donated by the late Sully and Amanda Herndon. Joshephine
Herndon's Chapel was once a circuit church associated with other churches in the Dallas, Cherryville and Lincolnton areas. It became a station church in the 1950's.
The church was rebuilt in 1961 with Rev. Willie McDaniel as Pastor. Later a fellowship hall was added in 1973, Rev. Benjamin Byer, pastor.
Herndon's Chapel is now being pastored by Rev. Matthew T. Davis of Hickory, N.C.
OAK GROVE A.M.E. ZION CHURCH 1931 - 19 -
Oak Grove A.M.E. Zion Church had it's umble beginning in 1931 in a log cabin, five miles west of Cherryville, North Carolina. A group of farmers held prayer meetings once a week. Later, under the leadership of Rev. J.R. Mccullough and Rev. Barber, they decided to hold Sunday School and Worship services there.
In 1932 land across the road, in a grove of oak trees, was given to the church. The Trustees hired a building contractor by the name of Lewis Carr who built the church out of donated materials. Upon completion the church was then named Oak Grove. The Trustees were Pat Thompson, William Curry, Joseph Patterson and Joseph Stover.
In 1933 under the leadership of Rev. Lispie, the membership grew. Rev. Lispie remained there for a period of 7 years. Other pastors to follow were Revs. Authur Williams, Crawford, Meeks, P.B. Falls, Bouie and A.L. Jackson. In the winter of 1959, the church was destroyed by an ice storm. Rev. Dawkins was the pastor at that time. Services were then moved to the little building which had been constructed for selling and preparing food during Camp Meetings, which were held during the month of September.
In the spring of 1960, under the leadership of Rev. Joseph McMillian, the new church was erected. Rev. McMillian served for 3 years. Elder S.I. Clement pastored until the Annual Conference sent us Rev. D. Sherrill who served for 1 year. Rev. F.D. Barnett succeeded Rev. Sherrill and served 4 years, followed by Rev. J.T. Ross who was with us 8 years.
Under the leadership of Rev. Ross, we have been able to put new flooring in the church, new pulpit furniture, new pews, carpeting, a well, hot water heater, water fountain and 2 rest rooms. The membership today is 51.
THE HISTORY OF RHYNES TABERNACLE A.M.E. ZION CHURCH
The first church was located on Virginia Avenue in Bessemer City, N.C., and was pastored by the Rev. Valls. After the church was destroyed by fire, leaving nothing, the members kept the faith and continued to hold services in a nearby store house for a period of two years. A nearby plot of land was purchased where the next church was constructed in 1946. This land was located on west Louisiana Avenue in Bessemer City, N.C. Unfortunately the church was a second time destroyed by fire and a temporary church was constructed in which services were held for about three years. The church was rebuilt in 1957 under the leadership of the pastor, the Rev. M.L. Campbell, who pastored there for the next three years. The Rev. Montgomery was called as pastor, and under his leadership our church was admitted to the Annual Conference in the mid 1960s.
The following pastors served after admittance into the Annual Conference: Revs. Williams, 3 years, Evans, 2 years; Ola Cassell, 4 years; Neil Bell, 2 years; Robert Hoyle, 6 months; J.R. Torrence, died while pastoring. Our present pastor is Rev. Thomas Jackson.
HISTORY OF WARDELL A.M.E. ZION CHURCH
The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, that set slaves free had not long been signed into law when there emerged a small group of independent children of God who united to establish a church and were formally called the Methodists.
As an outgrowth of activities within this group who remained loyal to the Methodist came the purchasing of land from S.L. Gilespie and wife V.E. Gillespie signed and sealed on the 31st day of Dec., 1884. Priced at $75.00. A little white church was organized and established on or near this same location by the hands of ex-slaves and free-men who dedicated their meager talents under the leadership of Rev. Wardell for whom this church was named.
Trustees of the church in the year of 1884 who signed the property deeds were: Wade Jones, Walker McGill, Scott Hunter, Charlie Millier, Berry Butchet (great grandfather of Florence Camp) Jessey Cookeson (the father of the late Adam Cookeson), Charlie Miller, William Simmons, J.W. McNeal, J.C. Roberts, George Birchett and Perry Roberts (father of Louise Roberts and grandfather of Ramona McDaniels). These names were taken from the deeds of the church.
A few of the ministers that pastored Wardell from 1885 to 1916 were Reverends: Simmons, Ivey, Vincent, Taylor and Williams.
On the 27th day of December 1904 one house and land was purchased from Mioe W. Tiddy (we do not know if this shouse became the parsonage or not but we do know that a parsonage stood in about the same spot as the house purchased).
Our records show that in the year of 1917 the Rt. Rev. George W. Clinton, D.D. was Bishop of the 2nd Episcopal Distruct, Rev. W.B. Wilson was pastor of Wardell A.M.E. Zion Church and Rev. H. Blake, Presiding Elder (grandfather of Warren Foster).
In the year of 1918 the bishop appointed Rev. Haywood Alexander Keaton, a dynamic young minister to the pastorate of our church. (Mrs. S.A. Keaton, Wille Lee, Cora K. Green, Glenn Keaton, wife, daughters and son respectfully are still active members.) He completed courses through private tutors from Howard University and Chicago University (later a Doctor of Divinity from Livingstone College.)
He found only 52 members at Wardell, a debt of $2,400 and a church ready to fall down. A financial drive was immediately begun. Alfield Hoskins, Sr., Chairman of Trustee board at the time, (father of James, Alfield Hoskins Jr. and Marilyn Cabiness), Alexanda and Wade Pratt and John Byers (brick layers), Arther Easter, and D. McCurry, (plasters), mothers, fathers, boys and girls carried bricks by lights strung on poles because these pioneers worked after their regular working hours. The New Wardell Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church was completed in 1923. The cost of the church was $20,000 of this amount Rev. Keaton paid $15,000, increased membership to 337 and 300 converts. Rev. Keaton remained to pastor this church two more years leaving in 1925. (This information was taken from notes written by H.A. Keaton.)
Other faithful missionaries, etc. were lana Pratt, Mammie Easter, Bertha Bridges, (mother of Ezra Bridges), Lizzie Love (mother of Bessie Love, grandmother of Til and Joyce Love, Margaret Howell), Ella F. Jones, (mother of Libby B. Gibson), Cammilla Hunter (aunt of the Hoskins), Mary Roberts, Fannie Eskridge, Mary Logan (grandmother of Leonia Bean and Elsie Logan), Molly Birchett, Sarah Gaston, Jenny Connelly, (mother of Florence Camp), Lilly Guest (mother of Tony Guest and Gertrude Brown), Katie Hunter, Nora Pratt, Regina Jennings, (mother of Missouri London), Beaulah Hoey Smith, (sister of Willie H. Wallace), Georgia Deberry, Cora Dixon, Alice Austell, Delia Graham, Addie Hamrick, (mother of Magie Gilliam, Mammie Hamrick), and Mary Carouthers (mother of Margaret London, William and Talmadge Carouthers), Edna Thompson, (mother of Mildred and Janie Thompson) and many others.
We have no records of all the ministers who followed the late Rev. Keaton. To list a few, J.W. Hill who later became P.E. of Asheville and Statesville Districts, (also the father of Rosetta Hill, Donnah H. Wells and Elizabeth H. Webb of this church), Rev. T.P. Turner, Rev. J.J. Wells, (late husband of Mrs. Donnah H. Wells and father of Betty Jo W. Pettis,) Rev. Brooks, Jones, Carr, Moore and others (not in order of pastorship).
In 1929 the Rev. H.A. Keaton was again appointed to pastor the church he built. Later he was appointed P.E. of Asheville District.
Later pastors not in order include Reverends: Ward, Watkins, Walker, Wade, T.X. Graham, M. Williams, G. Leake, who renovated the church; and later became Bishop of Eleventh Episcopal, District, and S. Turner.
Between the years of 1885 and 1975 Presiding Elders that contributed to our March of Zion are: H. Blakey, Hamilton, Houston, Carson, Seagle, Blakely, Gladden and our present one Rev. S.I. CLement, of the Lincolnton District.
In 1965 members of Wardell Chapel were close to despair. But then came the young, vivacious and energetic Richard J. Harris, Jr. to take the helm and direct the future course. Within seven years, 1965-1972, under his leadership, this beautiful structure, so well designed, was completed at a cost of $120,000 but we value the plant, contents and ground at $150,000, the membership has increased, he organized the Round Table (a better articulation of the church family) increased the trustee board and class leaders, and more recently organized the Richard J. Harris Choral Ensemble. Rev. R.J. Harris is a graduate of Morningside High School, Statesville, N.C., B.S. Degree Livingstone, Salisbury, N.C., B.D. Degree Hood Theological Seminary, Salisbury, N.C., attended the University of North Carolina, Raleigh, N.C., Boston University, Boston, Mass., and received M.S. Degree A & T State University, Greensboro, N.C., a member of NAACP, honorary member of National Farmers America, Future Farmers of America and Advisory commission of NDEA, and Board of directors of NCEA. He is married to Nellie M. Massey Harris and they have 3 children. He is an organizer and great church builder; having built Elmwood A.M.E. Zion Church, Elmwood, N.C. and completely remodeled Denny Grove A.M.E. Zion Church, Wilkesboro, N.C. and then our Wardell A.M.E. Zion Church.
There is a wonderful feeling within these beautiful walls of Zion. Comfort for the heart, soul and body; spiritually, where we pray for each other. We are sure it was Gods plan within Rev. Harris that guided the structure of this great House of Worship.
The present board of Trustees at Wardell Chapel are:
James Hoskins, Chairman Fleming Williams David Banks
Tony Guest
James London Clarence Palmer John Winston
James Martin Ayfield Hoskins, Jr.
Sherwood Enloe
We acknowledge in solemn memory the late Charles Millsaps (brother of Cleo Murdock). A member of this board at the time of his death whose greatest desire was to see this church a reality.
Our church emerged through struggles, strife, toil, tribulation, and persecution, yet it still stood and will stand for test of time. Thanks to the Almighty for Wardell, yesterday, today and tomorrow. We dedicate ourselves to fuller and greater involvement. We seek guidance and prayerfully look toward years of service to God and Shelby Community.
