Steward and Finance President

Purpose

The AME Book of Discipline outlines that each local church shall establish a number of commissions one of which is Stewardship and Finance.

The Stewardship and Finance commission develops an annual budget Steward for the church, and upon approval by the Official Board, must take required actions to ensure prudent financial decisions are made in order to operate within the budget parameters. The commission also provides accurate financial reporting that informs the congregation of the church’s financial position

Mission

Promote and cultivate Christian Stewardship through ongoing education to the congregation and administers the Financial Ministry of the church.  Accurately account for all financial inflows and outflows of the church in a timely manner. Encourage committed Christian living by emphasizing the recognition that EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD and as Christians we are called to give on every occasion in obedience to God and in thanks for His unmerited gift of His Son, Jesus the Christ.

Women's Ministry President

Rev. Judy Johnson-Joyner

Rev. Judy Johnson

I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Women of FAME. Please join us in worship where the hearts of women are open to everyone, committed to fellowship, worship and praising God.  
The women are both encouraged and equipped to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and His body of believers through relevant teachings from His Word, preaching and prayer.


The women’s ministry goal is that every woman walk in a manner worthy of her calling and purpose in which God called her. The FAME women are committed to a daily prayer life, and lifting our hearts and extending our hands to serve the community.
 
Our desire is that women connect with God on a deeper level, whether they’re just beginning the journey with Him, or have known Him forever! FAME is place for you to experience community with other women and develop deeper friendships. God has designed the women of FAME to be in community with each other, and in a close loving, exciting relationship with Him. And as we draw closer to Him, He will draw closer to us and fill us with his joy and peace.
