OUR RICH HISTORY
RICHARD ALLEN FOUNDER
PASTOR EMERITUS
MITCHAM'S HISTORY
(Excerpt)
Born a slave in 1760, in Philadelphia, Richard Allen grew up in Delaware close enough to his master to be converted by Allen’s boyhood preaching. Obviously, this freedom did not include blacks even though a freedman was who Richard Allen became by buying his freedom for $2,000.
In 1816, Richard Allen and some other Africans were ordained elders by Bishop Asbury and Richard Allen became the first Bishop of what had begun to become The African Methodist Episcopal Connection.
The works of promoting freedom and progress by some of the followers of Allen are recorded in the Journal of Christian Education of the AME Church.

MITCHAM'S HISTORY
PASTOR EMERITUS
MITCHAM'S HISTORY
(Excerpt)
In May of 1985, Reverend Barbara J. Anthony felt the calling of God through His Spirit to begin a new work. She spoke with Reverend David E. Mitcham, former pastor of Oak Grove African Methodist Episcopal Church, and he gave his unconditional support. Mitcham Chapel is named in his honor thus making Oak Grove the mother church. Reverend Anthony, as well as some members of Mitcham’s congregation, began in Oak Grove.
God made a 100 fold provision for Mitcham Chapel to purchase a church building at 4207 West Fourteen Mile Road in Royal Oak, Michigan on a land contract negotiated with the owners, the Korean Assemblies of God. The church moved in March 7, 2011 and held the first worship March 27, 2011. Presiding Elder Norman V. Osborne preached from the subject “Standing on Tiptoe Looking to God.” He was profoundly anointed for that word. The blessings from the worship still remain with Mitcham.
