Worship, Prayer, and Praise

---

A group of intercessory prayer warriors called, commissioned and committed to praying for the body of Christ, the Allen Chapel family, the community and the nation. To this end, the group prays individually daily, and as a collective body, each Sunday before worship and before other services such as revivals and Watch Night.

Greeters stand at each entrance of the church to provide a warm, friendly welcome to members and guests. They provide directions, answer questions, and offer guests an Allen Chapel Welcome Packet, which they then present to an usher who directs them into the sanctuary.

 The Music and Creative Arts Ministry (MCAM) of Allen Chapel AME Church consists of professional, semi-professional, and amateur musicians, singers, arts, dancers, among other creatives. They are Christ-centered, purpose-driven, and committed to serving the church and community with their God-given talents. Their culture is centered on cultivating servant leaders, valuing their creative investments, and preparing for excellence in every ministry opportunity.

Assists the church and its ministries by providing audio/ visual support and control for worship services, seasonal services (Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving) and other gatherings including public events. Some of its services include video and audio recording, worship services broadcasting, and internet streaming of worship services.

Stewardesses assist the Board of Stewards with the discharge of their duties relative to the rituals of baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion).  They provide the elements of Holy Communion and baptism and dress the altar and pulpit with suitable covering. They also assist the pastor and stewards with sick and shut-in communion. Stewardesses provide suitable dress for the altar and pulpit in accordance with the liturgical calendar and for funerals and memorials, and join stewards in welcoming converts and members transferring from other churches or denominations  during the Invitation to Christian Discipleship.

Ushers greet, seat, and ensure the comfort of members and guests. They provide worshippers with resources needed to participate in the worship service.  Ushers receive the offering and direct the movement of worshippers during Holy Communion and other occasions.

We are currently working on the return of our Children's Church Ministry. During our worship service, we provide a monitored facility that engages children spiritually while they have fun during worship.
