Reverend Thomas Poole
Welcome Reverend Thomas Poole
Newly assigned Pastor to Allen Chapel AME Church in Rockford, Illinois on October 3, 2026 More information to follow.
New Paragraph
On Sunday mornings, in churches throughout the Stateline, people from all ethnic backgrounds can come together for morning worship, a move that was impossible in 1891. That fact prompted a former slave to establish Rockford's first African American church. One hundred and twenty-eight years later, Allen Chapel A.M.E. is still going strong, opening its doors to people from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds.
