About Us
First African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest Black congregation of denomination in Pasadena, was founded in the fall of 1887, in the home of Silas and Cynthia Carnahan. Under the direction of Rev. I. W. H. Nelson, the formal organization was completed in the spring of 1888. The first pastor appointed to serve the church was Rev. J. R. McClain. We currently worship and serve the community at corner of Raymond and Penn, and Rev. Dr. Larry E. Campbell serves as the Senior Pastor.
