Baltimore Annual Conference

The Baltimore Annual Conference was wonderful!! So happy to share more memories. The opening session was highlighted by our Opening Sermon preached by Rev. Dr. Frank Madison Reid III, Senior Pastor Bethel AME Church-Baltimore. His seminar text was taken from Nehemiah 6:1-9 on the subject, "From Exile To Empowerment- Redeeming the AME Soul". 

Dr. Reid taught us that discipline and development are the roots of the AME Church. God called us to redeem a people that nobody else wanted.  The greater the opposition, the greater the opportunity.  The enemy will try to destroy the inner soul to try to destroy the outer condition. Dr. Reid asked the question: Are we risk takers, caretakers, or undertakers? 

We celebrated our Ordination and Commissioning Service with a talented 2016 Ordinate Class. Reverend Dr. John Green, President/Dean of Turner Theological Seminary delivered a soul stirring sermon taken from II Corinthians 4:16-18 on the subject "Outwardly Afflicted, But Inwardly Renewed". Dr. Green's message to the ordinates was that according to the Apostle Paul's experiences, ministry is  not easy...but they that wait upon The Lord shall renew their strength!!
