African Methodist Episcopal Church
The Mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church is to minister to the spiritual, intellectual, physical and 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 A.M.E.

- Preaching the gospel,
- Feeding the hungry,
- Clothing the naked,
- Housing the homeless,
- Cheering the fallen,
- Providing jobs for the jobless,
- Administering to the needs of those in prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, asylums, mental institutions, and senior citizens homes; caring for the sick, the shut-in, the mentally and socially disturbed, and
- Encouraging thrift and economic development.
