Hemingway Memorial AME Church

About this church

Known as “The Way,” Hemingway Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church offers its main Worship Experience each Sunday at 10 a.m., both onsite and online. Adult Church School begins at 8:30 a.m. on Zoom, while a 2 p.m. service at The Manor at Victoria Park takes place every second Sunday. First-time guests can expect about 90 minutes of music, fellowship, prayer, and a Bible-based sermon. Clothing ranges from Sunday best to casual. Two onsite lots and street parking serve the church, and an exterior-accessible elevator provides a route into the sanctuary for people who cannot use the stairs.

Children's Church uses age-appropriate lessons, with a parent or guardian required at sign-in. The altar is open before and after worship, and ministers remain available afterward for personal prayer. Those joining remotely can watch the 10 a.m. service on Facebook or YouTube, where past services also remain available. Ministry choices extend across Christian education, men's and women's groups, young adults, youth Bible study and arts, scholarships, prison ministry, outreach, social justice, health and wellness, grief care, benevolence, missions, and choirs. The congregation began as Williams Mission in a Chapel Oaks home in 1950, took Bishop Lawrence H. Hemingway's name after incorporating in 1952, and moved to Gateway Boulevard in 2000. The visitor guide does not state Communion frequency, nursery ages, child-safety procedures, assistive-listening provisions, or a typical order of worship.
