Campbell AME Church

About this church

Campbell AME Church is an African Methodist Episcopal congregation in the Anacostia area of Washington, DC, at 2568 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE. The church's website lists Sunday worship at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time and links to a live broadcast from the homepage, so those unable to attend in person can watch from home. The stated mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the Anacostia area and the world.

The congregation dates to 1867, when a group of worshipers began meeting in their own neighborhood, and it was later named for Bishop Jabez B. Campbell. It moved to its present location in 1938 and hosted meetings of parents who pursued the 1950 school segregation case in the District.

The ministries page lists a children's ministry, church school, Bible study, a combined choir and men's chorus, dance and mime, the Women's Missionary Society, ushers, scouts, Sons of Allen, a veterans and military ministry, fitness, transportation, audio/visual and media teams, and security. Visitors can call (202) 678-2263 or email info@campbellame.org with questions. The contact page also gives a mailing address on Stanton Road SE. The site notes that a new website is coming, so confirm worship times and details before visiting.
