Charlotte, NC – The Board of Bishops is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. Lisa Moore (Facebook) as the new Director of Music Ministry for The African Methodist Episcopal Zion (A.M.E.

The Board of Bishops recognizes her exceptional talent and dedication, making her a valuable asset to The A.M.E. Zion Church's vibrant musical tradition.

Once she realized that God had given her the gift of music, she forged ahead wholeheartedly, using her voice to give God praise and bring him glory.
Dr. Moore is an alumna of Jackson State University, having earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, a Master of Science Degree in Education Administration, Supervision and Leadership, and a Doctorate Degree in Early Childhood Education.
