Rock AME church will celebrate 150 years
Flat Rock African American Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church, one of the oldest
churches in Fayette County, will celebrate its 150th anniversary during
the month of August, culminating in a 150th Anniversary and Homecoming
service Sunday, Aug. 22, at both the 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. services.
"Flat Rock garners a place in Fayette County's history as
the oldest African American congregation in Fayette County," a spokesperson
said. "It serves as the mother church from which six other Fayette
County churches have been birthed, to include two other local A.M.E.
churches. We are proud of the 150 years that Flat Rock has been a part
of Fayette County's history and what it says for African Methodism
in educating some African Americans during the early years. This church
has been a foundation of the community for a long time."
The church is at 148 Chapel Lane, just off Ga. Hwy. 54 near Adams Farm.
The current pastor is the Rev. Edward J. Johnson Jr. Chairperson for
the 150th anniversary celebration is Mrs. Linda Parker.
