BELIEFS

What We Believe

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.

 

The third day he arose from the dead; he ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

Our Sacraments

 

 

We serve Holy Communion in remembrance of the body and blood of Jesus that was broken and poured at the cross. Holy Communion reminds us of His suffering and shows us the amount of love Jesus had for us. Communion is served on the first Sunday of the month. All who have a faith in Jesus as their Savior are welcome to participate.  

  

Baptism is a central tenet of the Christian faith. Baptism is a sign of profession, and mark of difference; it is also a sign of the new birth.

What it Means to be AME?

The word  African means that the church was organized by people of African descent and heritage. It does not mean that the church was founded in Africa, or that it was for persons of African descent only.

 

The church’s roots are of the family of  Methodist  churches. Methodism provides an orderly system of rules and regulations and places emphasis on a plain and simple gospel.

 

 Episcopal refers to the form of government under which the church operates. It means that the church is governed by bishops. The chief executive and administrative officers of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination are the Bishops of the church.
