Born out of the vibrant spirit of Chicago’s African American community, Coppin Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church first opened its doors in March 1919. The church’s name honors the legacy of Bishop Levi J. Coppin, a prominent figure in the AME Church. Coppin Memorial wasn’t always at its current location on South Michigan Avenue. Its journey began at 43rd and Wabash Avenue, where it thrived for several years. As the congregation grew, so did their vision. This led them to acquire their current home in 1928, a testament to their enduring faith. Coppin Memorial AME Church is more than just a place of worship, it’s a beacon of hope and a testament to the enduring spirit of the community it serves.
