St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church was the first church for African Americans in Nebraska, organized in North Omaha in 1867.[3] It is located at 2402 North 22nd Street in the Near North Side neighborhood. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was constructed in the center of Omaha's North Side in the Prairie School architecture style.
