This one-story brick church reveals a medieval influence in its latin cross interior. Overhanging eaves and dormer windows accentuate the gabled roof, and a wood and brick belfry punctuates the west elevation. A gabled porch shelters the vestibule entrance at the belfry's base. Round-headed stained glass windows ornament the building, which retains its original hammer beamed roof and auditorium-style seating. A rear corridor connects the church to the education/community center building behind it.
The First A. M. E. Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (March 10, 1980)
