Louden Nelson houses a senior computer center, a teen center, and two rooms that can seat up to 127 people for various community and private events.

Formerly located on Ramona Street, the church moved to the current Middlefield location to provide a more fitting facility for the congregation. The A.M.E. Zion Church's emphasis is on "the salvation of the whole person--mind, body and spirit." Ultimately, it strives to be "The Freedom Church."
