The AME Church was founded by Richard Allen (1760–1831) in 1816 when he called together five African American congregations of the previously established Methodist Episcopal Church with the hope of escaping the discrimination that was commonplace in society, including some churches. [7]
The church was founded in 1834 and was the fifth Episcopal church in the state of Georgia. The first church building was completed in 1837. The current building was built in 1890-91 and formally consecrated in 1892. [2]

Church Square is a city block in downtown Columbus, Georgia home to two churches: First Baptist Church of Columbus and St. Luke United Methodist Church. The block, located between 2nd and 3rd Avenues and 11th and 12th Streets, is significant because it is the only remaining square designated for church use by Edward Lloyd Thomas, who surveyed the area in 1828 and drew up the original city plan.
It is one of the oldest buildings on Broadway (Columbus's main street) and is as the only Greek Revival church building surviving in Columbus. It has pilasters with corbelled brick capitals. [2] It was added to the National Register in 1980. [1] It was home of the Columbus Ledger newspaper from 1915 to 1931. [2]
