The African Methodist Episcopal Church in Cumberland, Maryland was built in 1892 to replace a previous church which the congregation had outgrown. The congregation was founded in 1847 by a group of African-American Methodists who had previously worshiped from the balcony of the Centre Street Methodist Episcopal Church. The first church was built in 1848, then rebuilt and enlarged in 1871 and again in 1875.
The church follows Methodist practice by placing Sunday school and meeting space on the street level, with the sanctuary above.
