Greetings and Welcome to Historic Tanner Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church's website. Serving the HEART of the Valley since 1886.
We are blessed that you have chosen to visit our site. It is the wish of all the members of Tanner Chapel that the information included here will be helpful to you. Please feel free to explore the site and send your comments to us at webmaster@tannerchapel.org. We also invite you to visit our Special Events to learn of the many activities underway at Tanner Chapel.
As a church family, we endeavor to be a spirit-filled, spirit-fed, and spirit-led congregation where no visitor or member is treated like a stranger.
Historic Tanner Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church is the oldest African-American church in the state of Arizona. We are also the only African American Church in the State of Arizona that has been designated as an historic site (December 2011).
We are a diverse, multicultural congregation seeking to enhance the spiritual growth and development for people of all ages. We consider Tanner to be a church that is large enough to share - small enough to care.
You are encouraged to attend any of our Sunday worship services, special events, or join in the various programs we have to serve the members of Historic Tanner Chapel and the community at large.
Again, thank you for visiting with us.
Welcome to the "Diamond in the Desert"
We look forward to having you worship with us.
