Quinn Chapel AME Church in Frederick, Maryland, has a rich and significant history that we are committed to preserving. Throughout its 224-year history, Quinn has served as an Underground Railroad safe house, a hospital during the Civil War, the first school for African Americans in Frederick, an outreach center, and an overall sanctuary for African Americans. We have a proud legacy of community service and a mission to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide.

​

However, this historic landmark urgently needs financial support to ensure it remains safe, stable, and structurally sound. The original church structure was built in 1855 and the Bell Tower was added in 1923. The Bell Tower now requires immediate stabilization and restoration to meet the Secretary of Interior’s standards for historic buildings. Also, the church exterior walls require extensive structural repair.

​

To address these challenges, we have launched the Quinn Chapel Restoration Project. We invite you to help us preserve our rich history by donating money, time, skills, and support so we can continue our legacy for future generations.
