Rev. Matthew Lawrence Watley serves as the Executive Minister of Reid Temple AME Church under the dynamic leadership of Rev. Dr. Lee P. Washington, Senior Pastor.
It was Pastor Washington who, in 1989, led Reid Temple from its Northeast Washington, D. C., location to Lanham, Maryland. At that time, the church membership numbered only 300 worshipers.
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!
The purpose of the Reid Temple AME Church Pastoral Support Ministry is to show appreciation to Pastor for his leadership and spiritual guidance. Ministries that provide this support include the Pastor's Agape Society, Board of Stewardeses, Board of Stewards, and the Board of Trustees.
