African Methodist Episcopal bishops

African Methodist Episcopal (AME) bishops are senior leaders within the AME Church, a historically Black denomination founded in the early 19th century. They oversee multiple congregations, provide spiritual guidance, and ensure the church's mission is fulfilled. Bishops are elected during regional conferences and play a vital role in advocating for social justice and community support. The AME Church emphasizes the importance of faith, education, and empowerment, particularly in the African American community. Bishops also help maintain the church's traditions and administer its programs, fostering both spiritual growth and community involvement.
