St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church (AMEC) is a local affiliate of the connectional AMEC, the oldest black-owned organization in America.
St. James' mission is in accord with that of the connectional AMEC; that 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. St. James engages in carrying out the spirit of the original Free African Society, out of which the AMEC evolved: that is, seeking out and saving the lost, and serving the needy.
