​As the Women’s representational entity of the AMEC nationally and worldwide, the Women's Missionary Society (WMS) has a record of 131 years of service committed to winning souls to Christ, health, economic, peace and justice issues.

The WMS has established a Foundation to support education through scholarships and social and economic development for the diversified constituencies we are privileged to serve.

​

In 1984, the African Methodist Episcopal Church created the Sons of Allen Men’s Fellowship to foster closer relationships between men of the church, to equip men of the church for meaningful service, to reach unchurched men, and to present positive role models for our youth. 

The Sons of Allen has grown into an important connectional movement over the past twenty-plus years and the Fellowship is becoming a true connectional ministry. The challenges and disturbing realities facing African American men call for a response from the church.

The YPD, under the leadership of the Women's Missionary Society, provides meaningful youth training programs and opportunities for leadership experience in all areas of church life.

By providing training in Evangelism, Christian Social Relations, and Education programs, the YPD is designed to connect youth more fully to the mission of the church and increase knowledge of the African Methodist Episcopal Church history and scriptures.​

The Lay Organization is a movement to provide greater leadership  opportunities for the Lay members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

It’s membership should include Trustees, Stewards, Class Leaders,  Missionary Workers, Ushers, Deaconesses, Stewardess, Choir Members, Sunday School Workers and Students, Young People Department, members of all Commissions, and so forth.

The Usher Board services the needs of the congregation at worship services. The primary duties of ushers, known as the doorkeepers, greet worshippers and seat them. They must make sure our members and visitors have our church bulletin and other available material and receive the offerings.

Stewardesses are women who are appointed by the pastor to serve as special assistance to the stewards in looking after the physical arrangements for the pulpit, the Lord’s Supper, baptism, the sick, the poor, and being useful in other ways. Stewardesses are nominated by the pastor and confirmed by the stewards.
