AME Zion Church

The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, known as AME Zion, is a historically Black Christian denomination founded in the early 19th century in the United States. It emerged from a desire for a separate space for worship free from racial discrimination. The church emphasizes social justice, education, and community service, reflecting its roots in the African American experience. It combines Methodist doctrine with a focus on the empowerment of its members and advocacy for civil rights. Today, it continues to play a vital role in both spiritual life and social issues within Black communities.
