A brief History of the Physical Church

Established in 1898: An historic witness to Zion Methodism in Montgomery County, Maryland. Now in our second century of service to God and God's people. Our Church is a legacy of our benefactor, Sarah Gibson, a former slave. She escaped bondage from the South with her children in tow, eluding slave catchers, fording rivers, even to the point of grasping a log. Mrs. Gibson became a successful seamstress and later acquired a tract of land (now a part of Cabin John Maryland. Her belief in God and in education was manifested with the building of a small structure which served as a one room school house for her people, during a time when educational opportunities for former slaves and their families were almost non-existant. This building was later called "Moses Hall" when a school for Negroes was established by the County years later. Moses Hall then served as a Church until its present structure was built in 1922. In 1974 a new annex was constructed which encompassed restrooms, office, kitchen and dining facilities. In 1994-97 major renovations and improvements were done, including a new pulpit and choir loft flooring, reconstruction of the deteriorating rear wall as well as a redesign of the roofing, and new sound enhancement system.

A brief Disciption of our Belief

We are a Christ-centered, Bible believing Church that steadfastly believes in the power of prayer. Gibson Grove believes in and practices that mandate that Jesus gives us in Matt 6:33, " ... but seek ye first, the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." We at Gibson Grove puts First Things First: God before all as we follow Christ.

Gibson Grove is associated with: A.M.E. Zion
