For over one hundred years, families of the Pleasant Hill Community have known and respected the power of prayer and worship. It was through such spiritual dedication that the Reverend Stroud founded the Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church in 1887 out of Steward Chapel A.M.E. Church as a mission charge.
Greater Allen has indeed been blessed through the years. Because of the dedicated membership and illustrious leadership of our church, Greater Allen Chapel is a light in the midst of darkness. Because of this light, many have answered the call to ministry, many of those who are hungry around us are being fed, the lost are being found, the overlooked are being recognized, and the neglected are being nurtured.
