Description The Bethel A.M.E. Zion Church was founded in 1883 as a mission, known as the "Little Ark".  The late Jack Murchison built a brush shelter to preach to two neighboring plantations. A few years later, a Presbyterian minister preached at Little Ark and established it as a Presbyterian church. Then a Methodist minister from Fayetteville arrived and converted them to Methodism, which later became apart of the Afican Methodist Episcopal Zion Church movement.
