Ministry is the way we show our love and dedication to God, and here at Reid Temple we have several ministries through which you can serve. The most important thing is to get involved!

Get Involved
Our focus as a Church is to “Have Faith in God”. We exercise our Faith in God by not only participating in worship, but also by serving God through the ministries of His Church.

Here at Reid Temple AME Church we have several ministries that you and your family can join in order to lighten the load. It has been said that “Many hands make for light work” and we believe that to be true even in God’s house. It is not only our duty to serve but be the example that Jesus left us when He stated in the Gospel according to Mark chapter 10 and verse 45 that “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve…”.
