White church on corner

"Walk in the Spirit, Live in Peace"

The Dickerson African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) congregation of Frostburg was established in 1845. The original church was located on Ormand Street and known as Hall's Chapel. In 1881 the present Dickerson A.M.E. Church was constructed at the corner of West Mechanic and Pine Streets. From 1924 and throughout the 1930s, circuit-riding ministers served A.M.E. churches in Frostburg, Westernport, and Oakland, Maryland, sometimes traveling to all three congregations in a single day.
