A Light in the pathway of darkness
MISSION statement
Moeder Emanuel AMEC is 'n lig in die pad van die duisternis. Ons lig skyn deur die liefde van Jesus, die vergifnis wat deur Jesus getoon word, en die genade en barmhartigheid wat God aan ons bewys het, te demonstreer. Die volgende Skrifgedeeltes is die fondament van ons missieverklaring: “Die Here is my lig en my redding; vir wie sou ek vrees? Die Here is die vesting van my lewe; vir wie sou ek bang wees? Wanneer kwaaddoeners my aanval om my vlees te verteer, my teëstanders en vyande, is dit hulle wat struikel en val. Al trek 'n leër teen my laer op, my hart sal nie vrees nie; al ontstaan oorlog teen my, tog sal ek vertroue hê. Een ding het ek van die Here gevra, dit sal ek soek: dat ek al die dae van my lewe in die huis van die Here mag woon, om die skoonheid van die Here te aanskou en in sy tempel te raadpleeg. Ek glo dat ek die goedheid van die Here sal aanskou in die land van die lewendes! Wag op die Here; wees sterk, en laat jou hart moed skep; wag op die Here!” Psalm 27:1-4, 13-14 “Julle is die lig van die wêreld. ’n Stad wat bo-op ’n berg lê, kan nie weggesteek word nie. ’n Mens steek ook nie ’n lamp op en sit dit onder ’n maatemmer nie, maar op ’n staander, en dit gee lig vir almal in die huis. Laat net so julle lig voor die mense skyn, sodat hulle julle goeie werke kan sien en julle Vader wat in die hemele is, verheerlik.” Matteus 5:14-16
WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Mission of the AME Church is to minister to the social, spiritual and physical development of all people.
Ek glo in God, die Almagtige Vader, Skepper van hemel en aarde, en in Jesus Christus, sy eniggebore Seun, ons Here, wat ontvang is van die Heilige Gees, gebore is uit die maagd Maria, gely het onder Pontius Pilatus, gekruisig is, gesterf het en begrawe is. Op die derde dag het Hy opgestaan uit die dood; Hy het opgevaar na die hemel en sit aan die regterhand van God, die Almagtige Vader; van daar af sal Hy kom om te oordeel die lewendes en die dooies. Ek glo in die Heilige Gees, die Universele Kerk, die gemeenskap van die heiliges, die vergewing van sondes, die opstanding van die liggaam en die ewige lewe. Amen.
Daar is maar een lewende en ware God, ewig, sonder liggaam of dele, van oneindige krag, wysheid en goedheid; die Skepper en Bewaarder van alle dinge, beide sigbaar en onsigbaar. En in die eenheid van hierdie Godheid is daar drie persone, van een wese, krag en ewigheid—die Vader, die Seun en die Heilige Gees.

Of the Word, or Son of God, Who Was Made Very Man
The Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man’s nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the God-head and manhood, were joined together in one person, never to be divided; whereof is one Christ, very God and very Man, who truly suffered, was crucified, dead, and buried, to reconcile his Father to us, and to be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, but also for the actual sins of men.
Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again his body with all things appertaining to the perfection of man’s nature, wherewith he ascended into heaven, and there sitteth until he returns to judge all men at the last day.
The Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty, and glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God.
The Holy Scriptures containeth all things necessary to salvation; so that whatever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of the Holy Scriptures, we do understand those canonical books of the Old and New Testament, of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church.
THE THREE "H's"
2025-2026
Hoop
Hoop, soos getoon in Jeremia 29:11, herinner ons daaraan dat God se planne altyd doelbewus is, selfs wanneer ons nie die pad vorentoe kan sien nie. Die Here verklaar: “Want Ek weet watter planne Ek vir julle het… planne van voorspoed en nie van teenspoed nie, planne om julle 'n toekoms en 'n hoop te gee.” Hierdie belofte verseker ons dat ons lewens nie aan geluk oorgelaat word nie – dit is in die hande van 'n getroue God wat vir ons beswil werk. Selfs gedurende tye van wag, onsekerheid of ontbering, hou hoop ons gegrond in die waarheid dat God se bedoelings vol liefde en belofte is. Dit moedig ons aan om te vertrou dat Hy elke stap na 'n toekoms lei wat Sy genade weerspieël, en herinner ons daaraan dat wat soos vertraging voel, eintlik goddelike voorbereiding vir 'n groter doel kan wees.
Healing
Healing, as shown in Psalm 147:3, comes from God’s gentle heart, who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” This verse reminds us that no pain is too deep and no wound too hidden for God’s restoring touch. His healing isn’t limited to physical injuries; it reaches into places where grief, disappointment, and loss have left their scars. God meets us in our brokenness with compassion, not condemnation, and patiently mends what life has shattered. In His presence, our sorrow is met with comfort, and our weakness becomes the space where His strength is made perfect. True healing, then, isn’t just about recovery — it’s about renewal, a divine act that restores hope, peace, and wholeness to the soul.
Holiness
Holiness, as explained in 1 Peter 1:15–16, is a divine invitation to mirror the character of the God who has called us. It states, “just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.” Holiness isn’t about being perfect, but about dedication — living a life dedicated to God’s purposes. It involves allowing God’s Spirit to influence our thoughts, desires, and actions so they align with His will. In a world that often promotes compromise, holiness calls us to live with integrity, compassion, and purity of heart. It is the daily choice to let God’s love guide how we speak, serve, and respond. As we grow in holiness, we become living mirrors of His light, showing that the grace that saves us also changes us.
