Bethel Ame Church

BETHEL AME Church, the largest African-American church in Baltimore, has outgrown its building at Druid Hill Avenue and Lanvale Street and is seeking to relocate. The city can not afford to lose this prestigious religious institution to the suburbs, but a suitable vacant site has not been found to meet Bethel's needs.I have discovered a potential site for the new church within a few blocks of Bethel's current home. It is slightly smaller than the seven acres the church has requested, but if parking needs are handled through the construction of a garage, rather than a surface lot, the spatial needs of the church can be reduced.
