Greater Bethel Ame Church
Christ Our Redeemer A.M.E. Church, formerly known as Cleveland Heights Methodist Episcopal Church, is a historic landmark in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Built in 1904, it is the oldest standing house of worship in the area. Designed by Sidney R. Badgley and William H. Nicklas, the Gothic Eclectic building features a battlemented corner tower and an octagonal sanctuary. In 1981, it became the first suburban mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Greater Cleveland, serving the growing African American community in the area. Despite facing challenges, the church played a significant role in breaking down racial barriers and remains an important site in Cleveland Heights' history.
Today, the church is known as The Tabernacle and is owned by United Temple Church. As Cleveland Heights' oldest religious building, it holds great historical and architectural value, deserving careful preservation. The church's rich history and its role in the community make it a notable landmark in the area.
