Records of Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church
Overview
Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church of Salina, KS was started by Reverend John L. Davis and Alex Holly in 1882. There were 13 original members of the church. Church services were held in various places until a building was constructed in 1883 at 364 N. 8th Street. This building was sold in 1917. From February 1918 to 1935, services were held in a basement located on N. 8th Street. In 1935, a building was purchased at the corner of 8th and Decatur Street. Reverend Charles Sanders was Pastor at the time. Finally, the current building located at 1021 W. Ash Street was purchased under the supervision of Reverend James L. Burkes. The congregation moved into this building on January 13, 1963. Since then, many improvements have been made to the building.
