The Bethel A.M.E. Church Vision
It is the vision of Bethel A.M.E. Church to serve as a place where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated and the confused may find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance and encouragement. Our vision is to become a church which shares the “Good News of Jesus Christ” with the thousands of residents of the Roanoke area. We aspire to welcome new members into the fellowship of our church family while loving, laughing, living in harmony, as well as developing people in spiritual maturity through Bible studies, seminars and retreats. With God’s guidance we will equip every believer for a significant ministry by helping each one discover the gifts and talents God has given to him/her.

At every level of the Connection and in every local church, the African Methodist Episcopal Church shall engage in carrying out the spirit of the original Free Africa Society, out of which the A. M.
