Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church Bloomington

Our Mission

The Mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church is to minister to

the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and environmental needs of

all people by spreading Christ's liberating gospel through word and deed.

 

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.

Bethel Bloomington is committed to a wholistic ministry that attends to the mind. body and soul of all people
