The Cathedral of Turner Chapel
On March 20, Palm Sunday 2005, the members and friends of Turner Chapel AME Church entered the new Cathedral of Turner Chapel AME Church. People came from as far South as Port-au-Prince, Trinidad, and New York City.
Since its inception in 1865, Turner Chapel has had 51 Pastors to serve its illustrious congregation. Three of our Pastors were elected to the Bishopric: Henry McNeal Turner, William A. Fountain, Sr, and Harold I. Bearden. In addition to serving as Bishop of the AME church, Henry McNeal Turner also served as Morris Brown College’s First President. Bishop William A. Fountain, Sr. and Reverend William A. Fountain, Jr. both served as Presidents of Morris Brown College. A number of former Pastors have served as Presiding Elders. They are: Dr. D.W. Wiggs (1936-1939), Dr. J.S. Downs (1922-1924), Dr. J.R. Hurley (1946-1948), Dr. D.S. Saunders(1931-1933), and Dr. A.J.Harris (1950-1952).
Since 1865, Turner Chapel has grown to include over 6000 members, 100 ministries, and 46 parcels of land. Come join us as we continue to embark on the journey the Lord lays ahead for us.
