The African Methodist Episcopal Church, often called the AME Church, was founded in the early 1800s by Black Americans seeking freedom from racial discrimination in worship. It became a cornerstone of community life, blending Christian faith with a strong tradition of social justice. From its roots in Philadelphia to congregations across the globe, the AME Church remains known for its powerful preaching, gospel music, and commitment to education and civil rights.
