The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church Mission
The mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church is to increase our love for God and to help meet the needs of humankind by loving God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our minds, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
We also share in the mission of His Son, Jesus Christ, in healing the sick, helping the blind receive sight, the lame to walk, the leper to be cleansed, the deaf to hear, the dead to be raised, and proclaiming the Good News to the poor.
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor..." — Luke 4:18
We fulfill this mission by praising God, faithfully obeying the Gospel, sharing the story of God's redeeming love, inviting people to commit their lives to Jesus Christ, and serving as ministers of God's liberating and reconciling grace.
Pauline Memorial AME Zion Church Mission
Connecting People to Christ. Transforming Lives. Serving Our Community.

We are a Christ-centered, Bible-based church committed to sharing God's love, building strong faith, and empowering people to make a lasting impact in their homes, workplaces, and communities.
We believe church isn't about having it all together—it's about growing together. We are ordinary people serving an extraordinary God, walking by faith, extending grace, and helping others discover the hope found in Jesus Christ.
No matter where you are in your journey, you are welcome here. Together, we are taking the next step toward Christ—one life, one family, and one community at a time.
Our Mission
To connect people to Christ, grow disciples through God's Word, and inspire every person to live a life of faith, purpose, and service.
Our Vision
To reach our community and beyond by building a welcoming, Christ-centered, Bible-based church where lives are transformed, hope is restored, and people are empowered to lead and serve for the glory of God.
Our Foundation
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)
We strive to put God first in everything we do, trusting Him to guide our lives, strengthen our faith, and provide for every need as we faithfully serve Him and our community.
Purpose
At Pauline Memorial AME Zion Church, we believe that no matter what season of life you're facing, God is with you every step of the way. Whether you're celebrating a victory, searching for hope, or walking through life's toughest moments, His love remains constant.
Our passion is to help people build a real, personal relationship with Jesus Christ that brings hope, purpose, healing, and lasting transformation. We are committed to encouraging believers to grow in their faith and empowering them to live the abundant life God has promised.
No matter where you've been or where you're going, there's always a way back to God. Let us walk that journey with you.
OUR YOUTH
Where faith grows, friendships flourish, and every child belongs.
At Pauline Memorial AME Zion Church, our children and youth are at the heart of everything we do. We may be small in number, but we are rich in faith, love, laughter, and purpose.
Our kids and teens learn about Jesus in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment where they can build lasting friendships, grow in their faith, and discover the gifts God has placed within them.
We believe raising the next generation takes a village. That's why we're committed to partnering with parents and families to help every child grow into the person God created them to be.
Come be a part of our family—where every child is loved, every teen is valued, and every life matters.
