Mr. Darin Kent, Editor in Chief
Greetings, Family,
First, let me start by saying a heartfelt THANK YOU!
For the past three years, I’ve had the distinct honor of serving as your Chief Communications Officer, and I am deeply grateful to have been re-elected for the next four years. Your unwavering trust in my vision for this department has fueled my commitment to serve Zion with an even greater purpose. It’s this trust that inspires me to work towards delivering a more dynamic communications experience for our beloved church. I don’t take this responsibility lightly and will continue striving to share the gospel of Christ with our living, loving global denomination.
With that commitment in mind, I’m overjoyed to announce the launch of our latest communications tool: the NEW A.M.E. Zion Website! That's right—on TODAY, October 1, 2024, we’ll be transitioning from our old site (www.AMEZ.org) to our new online home at
www.AMEZion.org. Now, before you wonder why we changed domain names, rest assured that this decision was made after thorough discussions among the Bishops, General Officers, and Department Heads. We believe this move is the best way to enhance our church’s digital presence. So, please join us in celebrating this fresh look, share the page proudly with your communities, and be part of the ongoing development of the site.
Over the past year and a half, we’ve worked tirelessly to merge information from over ten different websites. After numerous revisions, prompted by Quadrennial meetings and the recent General Conference, the Board of Bishops has given the Communications Department approval to go live. We acknowledge that not everything will be perfect or entirely up-to-date at launch, but we’re committed to making daily updates and improvements.
And this is where you come in.
If you come across information that needs updating, contact us. We’ll review your request, verify the details, and make the necessary updates to the site. Submit this information via our
Contact Page or
Find Your Church and submit revisions via the
Update This Location form.
Now, let's talk about a few of the highlights:
- A vibrant new homepage: Whether you’re new to Zion or a long-time member, the homepage offers an inviting entry point into the church and serves as a valuable resource for those seeking information.
- The Find A Church feature: This will be one of our church's most powerful tools. Search for your church and, if needed, submit verified updates using the form provided.
- The Events Tab: Easily populate your episcopal calendars or events throughout the year by submitting them through your episcopal office.
This new website is a powerful reflection of who we are as The Freedom Church—a global connectional body that will only grow stronger over time. Every church is invited to be a part of this platform, showcasing our unity and mission. Like, love, and share our church with the world. Send your feedback and concerns with love, and we’ll take them into consideration. Together, we can fulfill Jesus' mandate to make disciples, following the Great Commission.
Your servant leader,
Mr. Darin Kent
Chief Communications Officer
The A.M.E. Zion Church
