| Our History |
| Union AME Church had its beginning in the late 1800’s having grown out of Parlerville AME Church which is located in the township of Parler (now known as Santee). The church was organized by a Reverend Summers along with Brothers Antley Johnson, Ezekiel Johnson and Jacob Thompson who were members of the original Board of Trustees. The overall mission of Union AME Church from its foundation was to help others; to help others that no one else would help to help themselves. Education also played a very important role in the mission of Union AME Church; in that during the 1930-40’s Union Church School was in existence and carried grades one through eight. According to information we have Union has been served by approximately 11 Bishops, 13 presiding elders, possibly 26 or more pastors. Presently, under the very strong visionary, Pastor John E. Washington, with his available, accessible and accountable leadership style, Union continues to move on up. This house of worship is soon to be one of the most popular places in the Orangeburg District, the Central Conference, South Carolina and of course this nation with its various ministries which include: A Counseling Ministry, A Senior Care Program, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the Tour of Salvation and Safety Program, its Computer Lab, Library and other Youth and Adult activities. Today, we are so very pleased to have you share in this historic occasion with us for we will not pass this way again. |
