Our Beliefs

In our tradition there are several documents that help to inform our distinctive understanding of the Christian faith. We rely on The Book of Doctrine and Discipline of the AME Church; The AME Hymnal; Historical Statement; Articles of religion; and The Gospel Labors of Rt. Rev. Richard Allen.

The A.M.E. Church recognizes and observes two holy sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion. The modes of baptism in African Methodism are pouring, sprinkling, and immersion. Regardless of the mode administered, baptism is a powerful symbol of regeneration and initiation into the community of faith—Christ’s Church. Holy communion serves as a memorial of the death and suffering of Christ and celebrates the abundant life we have through Him.
