The church, citing the judicial records, said the property was owned by an African Methodist Episcopal Mission in 1886.
When Charles Ward, N. D. Valentine, Laura Valentine, and Sister Bell met with the Reverend H. H. Hawkins to propose the foundation of a Christian mission to promote "family life," the church claimed that is when it was created.
The church claims that in 1899, another plot of land was bought at the intersection of Second Street and East Jefferson Street as the African Methodist Episcopal Mission grew.
