Gibson Grove AME Zion

7700 Seven Locks Rd
Bethesda, MD 20817

First Agape African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (AME Zion) at Gibson Grove is currently engaged in a significant rebuilding and expansion project following the destruction of its original structure by a major fire in 2004. With the support of a Maryland Legislative Bond Initiative and local community backing, the church is set to begin construction in October, which will include a new worship center and a Community Learning Center dedicated to its historical roots.

The estimated cost of the project is approximately $3.2 million, with ongoing fundraising efforts to support the construction budget. Under the leadership of Reverend Edgar S. Bankhead Sr., the congregation has been actively involved in the restoration process and continues to hold services at a nearby location while the new facility is being developed.
