Exciting! Rewarding! Insightful! These three adjectives aptly summarize my first four years serving as the General Secretary of Christian Education for our beloved Zion. It is exciting to utilize
my God-given gifts to partner with others to develop ministry that fosters the development of
credible, committed Christian disciples. It is most rewarding to witness lives being transformed
by the ministry of Christian Education and it has been very insightful to hear and experience the
challenges that many Christian educators face.
I began my tenure in this role by articulating my vision for the department, revising the mission
statement, identifying quadrennial priorities and establishing quadrennial goals. The vision and
mission statement provide the foundation for our quadrennial priorities and quadrennial goals.

II. Major Milestones
Spiritual Resurgence
•
Opportunities for prayer have increased through monthly prayer calls implemented by
VICYC and YACM. This has been a source of empowerment and spiritual resurgence for
youth and young adults.
•
The Department’s program team and I organized and implemented “Zion University” for the
23rd Quadrennial Convention, which has been replicated within various local churches,
districts, and conferences throughout the denomination.
•
YACM began offering “Micro Grants” to support effective young adult ministries at the local
and district level.
•
I collaborated with the Episcopal Directors of Christian Education to unify Christian
Education Sunday observances by 1) identifying a specific theme, 2) sending a letter to
be read in the local church and 3) developing resource materials for CED Sunday. 2012 CED
Sunday Theme: 21st Century Christians: Restoring the Mission, Retooling the Leadership,
Rebuilding the Community;” 2013 CED Sunday Theme: “iLight;” 2014 CED Sunday Theme:
“Fortify;” 2015 CED Sunday Theme: “Excellence Without Excuse.”
•
Re-branded the CED Winter Meeting using “Truthville” as the mythical place where the
Winter Meeting occurs. “Truthville” programming has been implemented in the local church,
district, region, conferences and episcopal areas.
•
Over 100 persons have accepted Jesus Christ or renewed their commitment to Christ at the
annual Winter Meetings in 2012, 2013, 2015 and the Quadrennial Convention on Christian
Education. The Department of Church Growth and Evangelism has trained and organized
altar workers to minister during the Winter Meeting and follow-up afterwards.
•
The Co-Directors of Varick’s Children developed and implemented annual Winter Camps
during the Winter Meeting and a Summer Camp during the Quadrennial Convention. These
camps incorporate STEM activities into their discipleship program. Workbooks developed by
the Co-Directors of Children’s Ministries have been made available for Children’s workers at
every level of the church. The Department purchased 12 iPads for children to use during the
Varick’s Children programming.
•
The Children’s Day curriculum has been expanded to include a full weekend of activities for
children.
•
To provide young people with spiritual grounding and support during the current climate of
racial tension in America, we recently hosted a “National Conversation” with our youth.
This conversation took place via conference call and provided Zion’s youth, their friends
and adult leaders with a forum to express their thoughts about racial injustice and police
brutality. There were over 300 persons on the call.
•
Recognizing the impact of media on fostering or hindering spiritual resurgence, the Christian
Education Department partnered with two media businesses (www.darinkent.com and
MooreTaylor’D Media) led by two of Zion’s young adult producers to present The Freedom
Film Festival. The inaugural screening took place during Truthville 2015 with over 15 film
entries.
Scholastic Re-Engagement

Through the CED Winter Meeting (Truthville), the Roosevelt Thompson Annual Scholarship
Awards were increased from $2,000 to $8,000.
During the 2015 Winter Meeting (Truthville 2015) in New Orleans, ACE initiated scholarships
named in memory of Dr. James Eichelberger, Rev. Dr. George Lincoln Blackwell and
Dr. D.D. Garrett.
During the 2015 Winter Meeting (Truthville 2015) in New Orleans, YACM provided scholarships

With the support of the denomination, intentional budgeting and increased fiscal
accountability, we liquidated $45,000 in debt during my first year in office. The Department
is debt free and has remained in the black throughout the quadrennial period.
The Department launched a new website featuring information and resources that can be
accessed by local churches, district, conference and episcopal leaders.
I implemented a process for officers of VICYC, ACE and YACM to provide annual written
reports to the General Secretary.
The finance team and I re-structured fiscal processes to require CED organizations to
maintain funds in a central treasury within the Department’s account.
I developed evaluation processes for each organization within Christian Education to assess
the needs of their constituent groups.
I utilized data obtained through the Episcopal Directors of Christian Education and through
Winter Meeting evaluations to assess the needs of Christian education in our local churches,
districts and conferences. This information was used to develop programming and make
administrative decisions for the Department.
Over the last two years, VICYC and YACM leaders have rekindled ecumenical partnerships
with youth and young adults in other denominations.

Acknowledgements
I have been blessed with tremendous support throughout my first tenure
as General Secretary of Christian Education. My Board Chairman, Dr.
Dennis V. Proctor and my Vice Chairman, Bishop W. Darin Moore and
Bishop Nathaniel Jarrett have provided the wise counsel needed to
help me begin carrying out the vision that God has given me. The entire
Board of Bishops has been encouraging and supportive. I must thank
each bishop for appointing strong Christian educators to serve as their
Episcopal Directors of Christian Education. These men and women have
gone the extra mile to collaborate with me in unifying, promoting and
supervising the work of Christian education throughout the denomination.
Mrs. Jennifer Armstrong has served the Christian Education Department
for over 20 years. As our Office Administrator, Mrs. Armstrong maintains
our office at the A.M.E. Zion headquarters with excellence and efficiency. I thank God for her loyalty, work ethic, trustworthiness and commitment to Christian Education.
Shortly after my election, I appointed a dynamic team of individuals to
serve as lead staff for the Department. These unpaid staff members have
sacrificed much time and money and demonstrated a deep commitment to fostering the development of credible, committed Christian disciples. Each member of our staff brings a high level of skill and commitment to this work. Throughout this quadrennial period, a number of staff
persons earned graduate degrees, received professional awards and
ministerial advancements. Zion is blessed to have such an outstanding
team of leaders serving our church.
I appreciate the service of every staff person and especially want
to thank Dr. Sandra Davis whose expertise helped me navigate my
6
transition from Program Coordinator to General Secretary. Rev. Patrick
Barrett II has served as my “right hand” throughout this journey. His creativity, commitment and theological insights have generated many of
the innovations that we implemented during the last four years. I am
also very grateful for the support and expertise of Mr. Dominique Turner,
Mr. Cesar Alvarez, and Ms. Cleo Chaney who have tirelessly and lovingly utilized their education, gifts and skills to help lead the Department.
The Winter Meeting Implementation team works behind the scenes to
ensure that each Winter Meeting runs smoothly. I thank God for these
servant leaders.
The officers of VICYC, ACE and YACM provide leadership to the organizations within the Christian Education Department. During my tenure
as the General Secretary of Christian Education, I have had the opportunity to work with two sets of officers within each organization. I am
blessed by the insights and conversations with all of the elected officers
that have served under my leadership.
Moses had Aaron and Hur to hold up his hands when he grew tired.
God has blessed me with a team of “Moses” and “Hurs” to do the same
for me. I praise God for Jennifer A., Patrick, Domo, Cesar, Cleo, David,
Mark, Stefani, Shatice, Eric, Angellica, Allison, Tamika, Jennifer R., Charnisette, John and Marian Walker for holding up my arms when I grew
tired! I give God the glory for Darlene and Tawanda who keep me
covered in prayer, Pastor Scot C. Moore for being a faithful shepherd
to me, and George for being a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
I dedicate this report to my loving mother Mrs. Esther L. Brown whose
strength and unconditional love gave me the courage to dream
big dreams and do what others said was impossible. She began this
quadrennial period with me, but went to heaven on June 20, 2016.
Although she is no longer physically with me, I am ever mindful of her
wise counsel “only what I do for Christ will last.” I continue to “expect
the great!”
Respectfully submitted,

“The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,
to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. We must no longer be
children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from
whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working
properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.”

Report of Independent Auditor
Christian Education Department Of
The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
Charlotte, North Carolina
Report on the Financial Statements
I have audited the accompanying statements of financial position Christian Education Department (“the Department”) of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church as of December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and the related
statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require
that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Department’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control. Accordingly, I express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
Opinion
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Christian Education Department of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church as of December 31,
2015,2014,2013, 2012, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and General
Christian Education Department (“the Department”), a non-profit organization, provides ministries and is dedicated to spreading the Gospel through effective educational programs to the people of the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church. The Department is a part of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and is supported
primarily through allocation from the general church and by educational conferences and conventions.
Financial Statement Presentation
In 2012, the Department of Christian Education moved from cash basis of accounting to the accrual basis of
accounting. Cash basis of accounting reports when cash goes in and goes out of the organization, whereas
accrual accounting spreads costs and revenues over time and tries to report revenues when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred. Change in accounting principal was retroactively applied to the 2011 Statement
of Financial Position and Statement of Activities, for comparative reporting purpose only.
The Church classifies its revenue, expenses, gains and losses into three classes of net assets based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Net assets of the Department and changes therein are classified
as follows:
Unrestricted net assets - Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.
Temporarily restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that may or will be
met either by actions of the Department or the passage of time.
Permanently restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that must be
maintained permanently by the Department. The Department had no permanently restricted net
assets as of December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
The amount for each of these classes of net assets is presented in the statement of financial position and the
amount of change in each class of net assets is displayed in the statement of activities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial statement purposes, the Department considers all cash and all highly liquid investments, which
have maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Department provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The
Department’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts
receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Department’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will
change. As of December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Department considered all unpaid registrations as
uncollectable.
Events
The Department hosts one annual meeting for the sole purpose to education all children, youth, young adult,
women and men of the AME Zion Department. Registrations are recorded as revenue. In addition, the Department receives donations for Founder’s Day and other ministries, which are reported as restricted support, if they
are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that
is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets
are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from
restrictions.
13
Property and Equipment
Equipment are carried at cost, or if contributed, at fair market value at date of gift. Depreciable assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 years to 40 years. Repairs
and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Donated Services
A substantial number of unpaid volunteers make significant contributions of their time to enhance the Department’s programs and fundraising activities. The value of this contributed time is not reflected in these financial
statements since it is not susceptible to objective measurement or valuation.
Tax Status
The Department is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c) (3) of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code; accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
Judgment and estimation is exercised by management in certain areas of the preparation of the financial statements. Management believes that such estimates have been based on reasonable assumptions and that such
estimates are adequate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

AME Zion Church. Comparative expenditures for the calendar years ending December 31, 2015, 2014,

16
J.RESTATEMENT
The department attempted to do a retrospective application to reflect the change methodology from
cash to full accrual. This means that a change in accounting principle is treated by restating
comparative financial statements to reflect the new method as though it had been applied all along. However, the full application was not achieve, so cumulative effect was reflected in the restatement
note.
