A Brief History of
Providence AME Church
Providence AME Church was organized by a group of Christian Pioneers: The Bowers, Caughman, Counts, Eleazer, Hart, Hipp, Mayers and Price families in the year of 1865. Services were held under a "Brush Harbor" in the Providence Community of Little Mountain, South Carolina.
Several years later, a simple wood frame church erected on property donated by Dennis Sulton, under the leadership of Rev. Issac Cook. Worship services have continued at this location since that time. In the late 1950's, the members had a vision and with great determination stepped out on faith and reconstructed Providence AME into this beautiful brick structure in which we sit today. In the year of 1972, the officers and members again stepped out on faith and added the kitchen and education building.
Over the past 143 years existence, Providence AME Church has grown in membership, standing on strong religious principles and Christian faith. Over thirty ministers have reigned as pastor of this church. Presently, we are under the pastoral leadership of Rev. Rebecca D. Smith.
