Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13
The purpose of the Sons of Allen of the African Methodist Episcopal Church shall be:
- to lead men to an acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
- to organize men into units and empower them to meet men’s needs in such areas as Evangelism and Stewardship.
- to teach the men of our denomination the history, doctrine and polity of our denomination with focus on the life, mission and ministry of our ancestral father, Richard Allen.
- to teach the men to witness their faith in daily living, such as in the workplace, the community, and the home.
- to encourage men to engage in outreach and service as a part of Christian servanthood.
- to seek resources and support of men as husbands and fathers.
- to empower men to serve as role models to young men and to develop youth ministries such as scouting ministries, in local units.
- to encourage men to share in ecumenical relations.
