If you are not an ordained minister, you are a lay person and you need to be a part of the Lay Organization.

If you want to know how the laws of the A.M.E. Church are made, how bishops and pastors are chosen, and what the Church does with collected funds, you can find out in the Lay Organization.

If you want to make a positive difference in the direction of the Church, you belong in the Lay Organization.

The Lay Benediction
May God bless us with the true spirit of Christianity, that we may live together, not as man over man, but as Lay persons working with God.
