This formed the idea to establish a Church in the Community to meet the spiritual and religious needs of local residents. In 1909, in conjunction with Rev. George H. Hall, the Bethel A.M.E. Church was established and in 1917, it was incorporated as a religious corporation. Six Ministers followed Rev. Hall until the A.M. E. Conference assigned Rev. Coma Asapansa-Johnson to Staten Island and the Bethel Church. From a Blacksmith Shop to a Church Building in 1941 The present property where the church is located, 51 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY was purchased in 1921. In 1921, on the property was a blacksmith’s shop, with living quarters. Church services was actually held in the Blacksmith shop and the living quarters became the parsonage for the pastor. The parsonage was little more than a two-story wooden shack. Immediately, dissatisfied with these conditions, Rev. Johnson was determined to build a new Church and to bring change to the Community. Through his guidance and with the assistance from some influential friends and prominent religious and political leaders, a mass fundraising was started to remove the black smith shop and living quarters and build the new church. In the 1920’s money was difficult to come by, but through a coalition of Black and White leaders and volunteers, the money was raised to build a new home for Bethel, which still stands today. In joy and honor we recall the past and celebrate our ancestors, members of the Catholic, Jewish and Protestant Faith for their vision, tenacity and support. As well as mention the names of a few clergy, politicians and community leaders for their outstanding contributions, including; the Honorable Joseph Palma, Borough President, Mrs. Louis Dreyfuss, Rev. Carl J. Sutter, Owners of Koehler Plumbing Supplies, Rev. Winfield Burggraaff. We also shall never forget the dedication of the church’s young people Dorothy Solomon, Nadine and Juliennne LaVeist, each held out cups in the community and asked for coins to help raise the money needed to meet building expenses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224238156-OY2QGA6E03LY3JALP4NL/Rectangle+16.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224431317-5MY8W6DHU2C1N8K4V902/Rectangle+18.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224412523-SZYXMKS44H8QE5OK3RZP/Rectangle+17.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224521708-2NJ8JNMIYIPO2KCL1RU2/Rectangle+16.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224238156-OY2QGA6E03LY3JALP4NL/Rectangle+16.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224431317-5MY8W6DHU2C1N8K4V902/Rectangle+18.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224412523-SZYXMKS44H8QE5OK3RZP/Rectangle+17.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224238156-OY2QGA6E03LY3JALP4NL/Rectangle+16.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224431317-5MY8W6DHU2C1N8K4V902/Rectangle+18.jpg About the Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615224412523-SZYXMKS44H8QE5OK3RZP/Rectangle+17.jpg About the Church https://www.bethelchurchny.com/education-for-teachers daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://www.bethelchurchny.com/the-pastor daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffcc603bfc8285d03850d3d/8ce4231e-5154-455c-9abc-92ba72329f68/image1-2.jpeg The Pastor - …And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose…Romans 8:28 Judy L.
