At every level of the Connection and in every local church, the African
Methodist Episcopal Church shall engage in carrying out the spirit of the
original Free African Society, out of which the A.M.E. Church evolved:
that is, to seek out and save the lost, and serve the needy through a continuing
program of (1) preaching the gospel, (2) feeding the hungry, (3) clothing the
naked, (4) housing the homeless, (5) cheering the fallen, (6) providing jobs
for the jobless, (7) administering to the needs of those in prisons, hospitals,
nursing homes, asylums and mental institutions, senior citizens' homes; caring
for the sick, the shut-in, the mentally and socially disturbed, and (8) encouraging
thrift and economic advancement.
