Wesley Union A.M.E. Zion Church History
Wesley Union AME Zion Church was formally established on August 20, 1829, by some members of an existing black church. The first church was a log building at Third and Mulberry streets. In 1830, there were 115 members of the church. David Stevens was ordained an elder at the Philadelphia conference of 1830. He was assigned to the Harrisburg circuit, which included Harrisburg, New Market, York, Chambersburg, Shippensburg, and Middletown, Pennsylvania.
The church building was extended 16 feet to make room for new church members. A school was opened in the church for African American children under the leadership of the next pastor, Rev. Jacob D. Richardson. The tuition for the students was paid by county commissioners, in accordance with Pennsylvania school law at the time. In November 1832, students were transferred to a school on Walnut Street.
A brick building was constructed at Tanner and South streets. It opened on November 24, 1839. Stevens became the church's pastor for a second time. Rev. James A. Jones took over leadership in 1858.
A new church was built in 1862, with Rev. Abram Cole serving as its pastor. It was remodeled in 1884. In 1890, William H. Day became the church's pastor. A new church building was erected in 1894, when Rev. John F. Moreland was the pastor. Alice Dunbar Nelson was a frequent speaker at the church.

Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
