The Mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church
Mission
The Mission of the AME Church is to minister to the social, spiritual, and physical development of all people
The Vision
At every level of the Connection and in every local church, the AME Church shall engage in carrying out the spirit of the original Free African Society, out of which the AME Church evolved: that is, to seek out and save the lost, and to serve the needy. It is also the duty of Church to continue to encourage all members to become involved in all aspects of church training.
The Purposes
The ultimate purposes are:
- make available God’s biblical principles,
- spread Christ’s liberating gospel, and
- provide continuing programs which will enhance the entire social development of all people.
The Objective
In order to meet the needs of every level of the Connection and in every local church, the AME Church shall implement strategies to train all members in:
- (1) Christian discipleship,
- (2) Christian leadership,
- (3) current teaching methods and materials,
- (4) the history and significance of the AME Church,
- (5) God’s biblical principles, and (6) social development to which all should be applied to daily living.
