About this church

Faith AME Church begins Adult Church School at 8:30 a.m. and Sunday worship at 10 at 13714 Briarwood Drive in Laurel. Worship streams live and is available through YouTube, while Wednesday Bible study meets online at 7 p.m. through Facebook and Zoom. Choir rehearsals have their own monthly pattern: the women's choir meets on second and fourth Saturdays, and youth choir rehearsals are scheduled around the first and second Sundays. The church's visit page provides office hours for questions that need a personal answer.

Founded in Laurel in 1986, Faith identifies with the African Methodist Episcopal tradition and describes worship, fellowship, and service as shared parts of congregational life. Community relationships include work with schools, government entities, nonprofits, other churches, and neighborhood partners. Its teaching includes water baptism as an outward expression of inner transformation and regular Holy Communion. Church School uses discussion, Bible study, activities, and celebration to support spiritual growth, while the wider ministry structure helps adults learn more about AME history and faith. Online platforms are deliberately presented as a way for prospective visitors to get a feel for the church before attending. Someone new can start with the 10 a.m. worship service, add the earlier adult class, or use the Wednesday online study as a lower-pressure introduction; prayer requests can also be made through the official site.
