Our Mission

The Mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church is to minister to the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and environmental 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 African Methodist Episcopal 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 serve the needy.

Vision Statement of Excellence

Based upon its mission and values, St. James A.M.E. church commits itself in worship, education, service, and growth on behalf of the people and community it serves.

As a family of God, our devotion is to the purpose called excellence. For our church, excellence is an 'individual moving beyond personal ambition, submitting to God through Christ Jesus, and serving humanity to the best of one's ability."

The Scripture for the month of January is Isaiah 41:10 -- Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. (KJV)
