The Steward Ministry is a vital and sacred component of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Called to serve with humility, compassion, and faithfulness, stewards work closely with the pastor to nurture the spiritual and practical life of the congregation. They are entrusted with supporting the ministry of the church by encouraging Christian discipleship, promoting faithful stewardship, assisting in the administration of the sacraments, and caring for the needs of the church family.
Our dedicated body of stewards serves with integrity, wisdom, and a servant's heart. Whether welcoming new members, visiting the sick and shut-in, encouraging faithful giving, or assisting the pastor in carrying out the work of the church, they exemplify Christ-like service in every aspect of their ministry. Their commitment reflects a genuine desire to strengthen the body of Christ and advance God's Kingdom.

The Trustee Ministry is one of the foundational pillars of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Entrusted with the care and stewardship of God's house, trustees faithfully oversee the church's property, facilities, and financial assets, ensuring that the ministry has a safe, welcoming, and well-maintained place to worship and serve the community. Their work often takes place behind the scenes, yet it is essential to the life and mission of the church.
Our dedicated body of trustees serves with integrity, wisdom, and a spirit of excellence. Whether maintaining the church building, managing resources responsibly, planning for future improvements, or protecting the interests of the congregation, they demonstrate faithful stewardship in every task. They understand that caring for the physical church is an act of ministry that supports the spiritual growth of God's people.
