Our Vision

The mission of the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church is to minister to the spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional needs of all people by spreading Christ’s liberating gospel through word and deed.  At every level of the Connection and in every local church, the A.M.E. church shall engage in carrying out the spirit of the original Free African Society, out of which the A.M.E. church evolved:  that is, to seek out and save the lost, and serve the needy through a continuing program of (1) preaching the gospel, (2) feeding the hungry, (3) clothing the naked, (4) housing the homeless, (5) cheering the fallen, (6) providing jobs for the jobless, (7) ministering to the needs of those in prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, asylums and mental institutions, senior citizens’ homes, and caring for the sick, shut-in, mentally and socially disturbed, and (8) encouraging thrift and economic advancement.  It also seeks to encourage individual and collective independence, dignity, self-reliance and development.
