Spencer Churches

The Spencer Churches (less commonly called the Union Churches) are two African-American Christian denominations in the United States that resulted from an 1860s schism in the Union Church of Africans (also known as African Union Church). That denomination was founded by Peter Spencer, a freed slave, in Wilmington, Delaware in 1813.[1]
