ABOUT US

Welcome to the 17th Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church

made up of twelve annual conferences, spanning across Kenya, Zambia,

Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and Congo Brazzaville.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the AME Church is to

minister to the social, spiritual, and physical development of all people. 

OUR VISION

At every level of the Connection and in every local church, the AME Church shall engage in carrying out the spirit of the original Free African Society, out of which the AME Church evolved: that is, to seek out and save the lost, and to serve the needy. 

OUR MOTTO

The 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. 

Our Episcopal Leadership

The Right Reverend Vernon R. Byrd, Jr., Esq.
