Bethel began as a group gathering in 1908. It formally registered in 1909. And during these early times prayers, sweat and tears were a major part of our fore-parents lives, as they earned $0.50 per day. They worked long hours from sun up to sun down, sowing and harvesting the farmed crops, sharecropping, working as house servants: underpaid and under-appreciated. Yet they managed to raise and provide for their families, inspiring their children to better lives.
During these trying times and humbling experiences, segregation laws and hearts of hatred, a small group of believers sustained a God-fearing faith that inspired them to meet and worship God in tool sheds and farmhouses. The leader of the faithful few was Parson Elia Rolle, a local minister from the West Indies.
Frequently, the group would send for different ministers to render services. Among them were Reverend Flanders, F. D. Hall and Reverend Baker. By 1911, the group of worshippers had grown considerably, so much so that they felt that they should be organized and taken into the African Methodist Episcopal Connectional Church. Upon appealing to the Presiding Elder, the Reverend F. D. Hall was sent as the first pastor, his tenure was short-lived, nevertheless, he was able to organize the group into a congregation known as the Salter Temple A.M.E. Church. The first church building (20 x 30 feet) was erected near the present site.
