The Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and Parsonage is an historic church and parsonage at 6 Sever Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The church is a modest 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with transitional Greek Revival-Italianate styling, and was apparently built c. 1840 and used as a gymnasium. It was purchased by the local African Methodist Episcopal (AME) congregation and consecrated in 1870. The parsonage house is a vernacular 1-1/2 story wood frame house located about 20 feet (6.1 m) behind the church; it was built in 1895.[2]

The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
