It’s time to go deeper into the Book of Discipline!

Building on our Blessing or Burden? You Decide. series, the Department of Church Growth & Development and the Department of Records & Research are launching a new course curriculum:

THE BOOK OF DISCIPLINE: THE INTERWORKING OF THE LOCAL CHURCH

This course moves beyond a high-level overview and explores how the doctrine, polity, leadership, ministries, stewardship, and organizational structure of The A.M.E. Zion Church are designed to work together to fulfill the Great Commission and build healthy, effective local churches.

From the General Rules and Articles of Religion to local church ministries, leadership development, stewardship, finances, vision casting, relevant ministry, church revitalization, and more—we’re taking a deep dive into how the local church works!

Monday Nights Beginning September 14, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET
