In February 1880, the congregation incorporated with David A.Williams, Joseph H.Rickman, and Henry H.Barr as trustees. Thomas Memorial was built on its current site in 1909. This church is the oldest surviving building associated with Watertown, New York. The church was originally built to support the spiritual and social needs of the African American railroad workers that settled in the Morrison Street area. "Zion was a foremost anti-slavery church, encouraging their lectures and preachers to hold forth in the various respective meeting houses." The AMEZ Church was known from the beginning as an anti-slavery church, in part because of its strong itineration of preachers for abolition. Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Katherine Harris,Jermaine Loguen, Frederick Douglass are some of its well-known members.Historian Bishop William J.Walls extolled the strong, influential women in this tradition."A sort of pertinacity was bred into these women who stood by the side of the men, fought the battles of freedom, and expanded the church across the continent and across the seas," he wrote. Thomas Memorial membership : A Model of Servant-Leadership in Action. Jesus is looking for followers: To lead others,One must serve others.
