A Valuable, Detailed Introduction to the African Methodist Episcopal ChurchBeing part of a church community is a special experience. However, the sense of belonging increases exponentially with a deep and nuanced understanding of the doctrine, discipline, and heritage of your church family. With Member's Class 102, Mary Vaughn, who has taught a New Members Class in the African Methodist Episcopal Church for ten years, brings together her knowledge and array of resources to provide a manual for new and present members to better understand the African Methodist Episcopal Church. This unique educational resource can benefit not only Church members, but anyone interested in the rich heritage of the Church. Experience the excitement and pride of truly understanding the history and doctrine of this vibrant Christian community, and enjoy the blessings that come from being closer to the Church. The Bible says, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." (2 Timothy 2:15) The more you apply yourself to the word of God, the more God will be present in your life. Member's Class 102 is an excellent guide to experience that presence with intention and knowledge.
