Bellow's Spring Methodist Church (also called Mt. Pisgah AME Church) is a historic church in
Ellicott City,
Howard County,
Maryland.
The church was built between Rufus Thompson's farm and Thomas Christian's farm (also known as Bellow's Spring Farm) in the African American community of
Jonestown. In 1899 the building was relocated to its present location along
Route 108, taking the name Mt. Pisgah AME Church in 1901.
The church is dwarfed by a modern church constructed adjacent to the building and the historical building is kept in poor condition with overgrowth covering the entrance.
