I was raised in a interfaith household. I spent my time in both growing up and even now.

My maternal side (one side of them) are Black Spiritualist/Black Jews (Black Nationalist focused - but not to be confused with the Hebrew Israelites Movement) --- and the rest and all other sides and branches are AME.

United House of Prayer for all Peoples

The Protestant African Episcopal Church - the church I was brought up in.

Also the British Methodist Episcopal Church of Canada. It was the Canadian Branch of the AME church servicing free blacks and escape slaves that made it to Canada via the Underground Railroad. A direct ancestor of mine was made Bishop over the church during the 1880’s.

Daddy Grace.

There’s a huge church that follows that faith right outside the campus of A&T. I never attended a service, but I have some friends who went. I know they always kept the college kids fed.

I grew up in a Baptist home, and that’s what most of my family follows, both paternal and maternal. Girl I used to mess with is AME, and I attended her church a few times. I enjoyed it

AME is global

The African Methodist Episcopal Church, usually called the A.M.E. Church or AME, is a predominantly African-American Methodist denomination. It is the first independent Protestant denomination to be founded by black people.[4] It was founded by the Rt. Rev. Richard Allen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1816 from several black Methodist congregations in the mid-Atlantic area that wanted independence from white Methodists. It was among the first denominations in the United States to be founded on racial rather than theological distinctions and has persistently advocated for the civil and human rights of African Americans through social improvement, religious autonomy, and political engagement.

A few others

The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, or the AME Zion Church or AMEZ, is a historically African-American Christian denomination based in the United States. It was officially formed in 1821 in New York City, but operated for a number of years before then.

Historic First Bryan Baptist Church is an African-American church that was organized in Savannah, Georgia, by Andrew Bryan in 1788. Considered to be the Mother Church of Black Baptist, the site was purchased in 1793 by Bryan, a former slave who had also purchased his freedom. The first structure was erected there in 1794. By 1800 the congregation was large enough to split: those at Bryan Street took the name of First African Baptist Church, and Second and Third African Baptist churches were also established.[2] The current sanctuary of First Bryan Baptist Church was constructed in 1873.

^^the last one posted was imported to jamaica

Andrew Bryan (1737–1812) founded First Bryan Baptist Church,[1] affectionately called the Mother Church of Black Baptists, and First African Baptist Church of Savannah in Savannah, Georgia,[2][3] the first black Baptist churches to be established in America.[4] Bryan was the former slave of Jonathan Bryan.[5]

Andrew Bryan was born in 1737 in Goose Creek, South Carolina, to slave parents. He married a woman named Hannah. Bryan converted to Christianity through the preaching of George Liele. After Liele left Savannah for a mission to Jamaica, Bryan began to preach. He was imprisoned twice for preaching to slaves, but he continued to do so. He was also severely whipped, but was noted for enduring the suffering as Jesus Christ had done.[6] Bryan established the church which would eventually become known as First African Baptist Church, and it grew from sixty-nine members in 1788 to about seven hundred by 1800.[7]
