Greetings Family!

From the local church to the global connection, we are linked. Let’s explore the beautiful structure that allows us to be one.

Did You Know? 🏛️
RAYAC operates on a multi-level structure that mirrors the AME Church itself! We are organized and active at:
• The Connectional (global) level
• The Episcopal District level
• The Annual Conference level
• The Presiding Elder District level
• The Local Church level

This means you have a place and a voice in RAYAC, whether you’re in your home church or at a national meeting.

Good Morning, Faithful Stewards! 🤝

In a world full of noise, what’s your focus? Let’s anchor our hearts and hands in the phrase that defines our drive.

Did You Know? 🔑
Our official motto is: “I Must Be About My Father’s Business.” (Luke 2:49)

This isn’t a passive slogan. It’s an active, urgent declaration. It reminds us that our time, talents, and energy in RAYAC are not about our own agendas, but about participating in God’s redemptive work in the world. What part of the “Father’s Business” are you attending to this week?

RAYAC is built on a fourfold purpose that guides everything we do:

Discipleship: Bringing young adults into a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ.
Leadership Training: Developing Christian leaders for the AME Church and community.
Fellowship: Creating spaces for genuine Christian community.

This is our framework. Let’s build on it with purpose!
