Young People’s and Children’s Division

Grow, Glow, and "Go for Christ."

President

Sr. Akhona Sibiya President

My fellow brothers and sisters in Christ I greet you all in Jesus joy.

I therefore challenge each and every one of you to be the light of the world, true disciples and loving Christians.

Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and the greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” …. Matthew 22:37 – 40

May the Lord watch between me and you whilst we are absent from one another Amen

Our Purpose

The YPD is a youth training program under the Women’s Missionary Society (WMS) that provides youth training programs and opportunities for leadership experience in all areas of church life. By providing training in Evangelism (Community projects), Christian Social Relations (Workshops) and Education programs the YPD is designed to connect youth more fully to the mission of the church and increase knowledge of the African Methodist Episcopal Church history and the scriptures.

Our Pledge

I pledge my willing and untiring service to all efforts of the Young People’s and Children’s Division to aid the needy and suffering people, regardless of race, color or creed. I further pledge to take the Bible as my guide, to aid my church, and to attend meetings regularly. In all these tasks I seek the Savior’s guidance.
