Believe In Each Other
The Motto “God Our Father, Christ Our Redeemer, the Holy Spirit Our Comforter, Humankind Our Family” is a great summary of what the African Methodist Episcopal Church believes.
At Greater Allen A.M.E. Church, we welcome all who are seeking a deeper connection to God in service to one another.
Sermons That Resonate
Greater Allen A.M.E. Church (formerly Allen Chapel) has been blessed with the leadership of Rev. Edward A. Scott who — for more than 25 years — has been a clarion voice for God’s people in Staunton, Virginia.
The recent pandemic and sequestration has allowed the sermons of Rev. Scott to find expanding audiences on YouTube and Facebook. We encourage you to spend just a few minutes to discover this gifted orator called to God’s service.
