The Green Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church is a historic church at 46 Sheridan Street in Portland, Maine, United States. A 2+1⁄2-story structure of textured concrete block masonry, it was built in 1914 to house the congregation founded in 1891. It is named after founder Moses Samuel Green, in his day the city's wealthiest African American. In the middle part of the 20th century, his church was the focal point of the Portland's African-American community, who hosted social events there and organized within the building for civil rights advancements both in Maine and across the US.
The church choir has found many opportunities to perform at venues throughout Maine. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and later recognized as one of the state's three properties on that list directly related to African-American history. Rev. Kenneth I. Lewis has been minister since 2003. In 2015, the multi-racial congregation numbered 335.
