Paul in Ephesians 4:12-14 gives Pastors the charge “To equip the saints for the work of ministry, and for building up the body of Christ.
In the African Methodist Episcopal Church Pastors receive a yearly appointment to a church. The appointment or charge is based on the recommendation of the Presiding Elder and approval of the Bishop. The appointed pastor is in full charge of the Church and is an ex-official member of all boards, organizations, and clubs of that Church.
It was my honor to receive my third pastoral appointment for The Greater Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Athens, Georgia. I received this charge at the recently completed 110 session of the Augusta Annual Conference.
A charge to keep I have as I partner in faithful leadership with the people of Greater Bethel to complete our, one vison, one mission and our one goal which is to make disciples for Christ.
