Mount Teman AME Church

06/22/2026

Yesterday was a momentous Sunday, marked by our annual Emmanuel 9 Commemoration, annual celebration of Mt. Teman’s scholars, and Father's Day, coupled with a powerful sermon about “Black Joy, Black Excellence, and Black Liberation” by Presiding Elder Coaxum.

We were also blessed to witness Kim Nesbitt Good receive an honorary doctorate from Eastern Bible Institute. Needless to say, with all that we experienced, the church was on 🔥!!! And the fire continued to burn, when Mt. Temanites joined others in our village for the City of Elizabeth’s Juneteenth Experience at City Hall.

Precious Memories captured by Sis. Marcella Elmore.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth; a reminder that freedom and information go hand in hand. More than two years after emancipation was declared, enslaved Africans in Texas finally received the news that they were free. Their freedom existed, but the information had not yet arrived.

As we honor this day, we remain committed to sharing our stories, preserving our history, and ensuring our communities have access to the information and opportunities they deserve.

At the First Episcopal District, we believe Black life, Black Church, and Black families matter and our stories must be told. What is your Black story? How are you celebrating Juneteenth? Share your story below.

Tonight, we pause to remember the nine faithful saints whose lives were taken at Mother Emanuel AME Church on June 17, 2015, during Bible study. We hold in prayer the five survivors and all of the families who continue to carry the memory of that sacred evening.

We remember their witness, honor their legacy, and reaffirm our commitment to faith, justice, love, and community.

May we never forget that even in the face of hatred, the light of Christ continues to shine.

The Emanuel Nine Memorial honors the lives of the Mother Emanuel Nine and the survivors of the tragedy. It celebrates love and forgiveness from the victims’ families and illustrates the spirit of resiliency shown by the survivors, church members, the Charleston community, and the world.
