AME ministers

AME ministers refer to clergy members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, a predominantly Black Christian denomination founded in the early 19th century in the United States. The church emerged from a desire for autonomy and spiritual freedom, particularly among African Americans facing racial discrimination. AME ministers lead congregations, promote social justice, and provide spiritual guidance while emphasizing community involvement and education. They play a vital role in addressing both religious and social issues, advocating for civil rights, and fostering a strong sense of identity and community among their congregations.
