AME Church

The African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church is a predominantly Black Methodist Christian denomination founded in the early 19th century in the United States. It arose from the need for a separate worship space due to racial discrimination in white churches. The AME Church emphasizes social justice, education, and community service, reflecting its historical roots in the fight against oppression. Its structure includes a hierarchy of bishops and local congregations, and it supports various ministries, including youth programs and health initiatives, aiming to uplift its communities spiritually and socially.
