Our Belief

We are glad that you visited our website today! We are believers in Jesus Christ, spreading the Good News of the Gospel. We are worshiping, teaching, growing, caring, sharing, cultivating Christian lifestyles, promoting justice, ministering to the needy, the oppressed and physically challenged, and people of all ages and nationalities, locally, with a focus on expanded outreach. We do this because we are led by the Holy Spirit and taught by Scriptures to obey the Great Commission: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:16-20).

                            Our Motto

"God Our Father, Christ Our Redeemer, the Holy Spirit Our Comforter, Humankind Our Family” is a great summary of what the African Methodist Episcopal Church believes. 

Also known as the A.M.E. Church, we are Methodist in terms of our basic doctrine and order of worship. Our denomination was born, through adversity, of the Methodist church and to this day does not differ in any major way from what all Methodists believe. The split from the main branch of the Methodist Church was not a result of doctrinal differences but rather the result of a time period that was marked by humanity’s intolerance of fellow human beings, based on skin color. It was a time of slavery, oppression and the dehumanization of people of African descent and many of these un-Christian practices were brought into the church, forcing Richard Allen and a group of fellow worshippers of color to leave the Methodist Episcopal Church in protest and start the African Methodist Episcopal Church in his Blacksmith shop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

To find the basic foundations of the beliefs of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, you need look no further than The Apostles’ Creed and The Twenty-Five Articles of Religion. https://www.ame-church.com/our-church/our-beliefs/

WE'RE LOCATED IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON

5 GLEBE STREET, CHARLESTON SC 29401

Parking Voucher pic.jpg

Parking presents a challenge downtown, metered on-street parking is sometimes available around the church, but we are aware that the city strictly enforces meter violations. Please observe all posted signs when parking on the street. For this reason, our church has collaborated with the city of Charleston to offer FREE parking at the city’s parking garages for people attending Sunday morning service. Please acquire your parking voucher from our wonderful ushers. Parking vouchers are valid only until 2:00pm. The closet city parking garage is located at Wentworth & St. Philip streets. The entrance to this garage is located past the intersection of Wentworth and King Streets, on the left (just before the St. Philip Street traffic light).
