The Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Iowa City, Iowa was built in 1868 to serve a predominantly African-American congregation. Originally called Zion AME, Bethel is one of Iowa City's oldest frame houses and the oldest surviving structure associated with African Americans in Iowa City.[2]
The original church is 600 square feet (56 m2) and has room for 50 people. A new 4,000-square-foot (370 m2) sanctuary is being built which will hold three times the current congregation size.[3]
