Celebrating 150 Years of Growth!


Campbell Chapel AME Church has been an integral part of the Bluffton Community since 1874 starting with the "Campbell Nine", The Campbell Nine" were nine former slaves who purchased our historic chapel from the Bluffton Methodist Church.  We worshipped in that building for 130 years until God blessed us to build a new edifice due to growth.  This year we are celebrating 150 years of worshipping God and serving our community.      

We will be celebrating this milestone from June 30 through July 7, 2024, with worship services and activities.
