Tyree Chapel AME Church History
History of Tyree African Methodist Episcopal Church
In the year 1894, Mrs. Jane Lewis, a community spiritual leader, saw the need for an African Methodist Episcopal Church in our then small community.
And as a result of her keen vision, this conscientious woman made known her desire throughout the community.
She found that there were two other persons, the Rev. Booker McQuirter and Augustus Hardeman, Sr., who also had seen the need and wanted to work toward its fulfillment.
These three set about soliciting funds from their generous and well-wishing white friends.
The Rev. McQuirter and Augustus Hardeman both were carpenters, and as funds sufficient to purchase land and lumber were received, the community project was begun. In the year 1901 a building for worship though humble was completed.
Mrs. Jane Lewis named the church Tyree Chapel A.M.E. Church in honor of the Bishop Evan Tyree, the 26th Bishop of the A.M.E. church.
The Reverend Tyree had been elected in 1900 and served as an active Bishop for 21 years.
Until the establishment of the church in 1901, Rev. McQuirter gave spiritual guidance to the Black community.
In the year 1901, the Reverend Mitchell was sent as the first pastor of Tyree Chapel and labored in the vineyard until 1905 when the Reverend Motley took the reins and lead until the Reverend Hickey came in 1907.
From 1906 to 1908, the church grew, and many of those who joined and worked diligently during these times have descendents who are yet holding high the bloodstained banner.
Some of these old warriors were John and Luella Duncan, Thomas and Amanda Allen, Georgen and Mary Robinson, Augustus and Mosella Hardelam, Henry and Fannie Cooper, Georgia Edison, Alonia Bouldin, Mary Johnson, Mamie Richardson, William and Pearl Robison, Lillie Green and Annie Austin. It may be noted that at this time Mrs. Parris Smith, wife of one of Bay City’s first pharmacists gave of her time to come and teach the missionary lessons.
The two missionaries who made up the class were Jane Lewis and Mosella Hardeman who has a descendent in the church today.
A storm demolish the church in 1909.
It was rebuilt in 1910 under the pastorage of the Rev. I. D. Coffee.
The Reverend C. W. McCowan following the Reverend in the fall of 1913.
The Church has served this community for over 130 years.
With all praise to God for seeing us through we can say, what troubles we have seen, what conflict we have passed, and what losses we have incurred since the little congregation first met in this place on such an occasion as we meet today.
We have had the blessings of welcoming 31 pastors through our doors including the present one.
We have worshiped and conducted business with 18 Residing Elders, including our present Reverend J. H. Phillips, III. our Bishops have been fewer in number, 17, including the president reassigned Bishop The Rt. Reverend John R. Bryant.
