Who we are
OUR BELIEFS:
We believe that there is only one living and true God, everlasting, without body or parts, of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness; the Maker and Preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. And in unity of this God-head, there are three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity – Father, the Son and The Holy Ghost.
We believe that Christ lived among man that He died and He rose from the dead and took again his body with all things appertaining to the perfection of man’s nature and ascended into heaven where He sits at the right-hand of God and will return to judge all on the last day.
We believe that the Holy Scriptures contain all things necessary to salvation.
We believe that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we shall be saved (Romans 10:9).
We believe that once we confess Jesus as Lord, the Holy Spirit becomes a permanent presence in our lives (Jn. 14:16-17).
We believe that the Holy Spirit fills (Eph. 5:16), anoints (Luke 4:18), empowers (Acts 1:6) and bestows gifts upon us (I Cor. 12:4-6) to equip the saints for ministry, to edify the body of Christ (Eph. 4:12) and set the captives free (Luke 4:18).
We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God written by fallible human beings who were under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and that it contains all things necessary for salvation (II Tim. 3:14-17).
We believe that the Lordship of Jesus Christ mandates that we tithe, which means giving 10 percent of our gross income to the church, and that the failure to tithe is flagrant disobedience to the word of God (Mal. 3:8-10).
We believe that marriage is a relationship ordained by God between a man and a woman (Gen. 2:20-24).
OUR MISSION:
The mission of Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church is in accordance to the mission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church cofounded in the Free African Society that is to minister to the social, spiritual, and physical development of all people through:
Preaching the gospel
Teaching biblical principals
Seeking out and saving the lost

Metropolitan AME Church History
Metropolitan had its beginning in the early 1870s. A group of dedicated Black men and women gathered in the home of Tempie Washington to worship God. This group of Christians laid the spiritual cornerstone for African Methodism in Austin, Texas. With its religious fervor, these Christians felt a great concern for the education of the young people of the church. From this concern, in 1872 the birth and organization of Paul Quinn College came into being. It was only two years after becoming organized as a church.
This college was established in Waco, Texas but now proudly stands in Dallas, Texas.
In 1873, under the guidance of their first official pastor, Minister Frank Green. Metropolitan bought its first church building. It was on the east side of San Antonio Street, lot 1 and block 101. This section of the city had been set aside for churches and schools in Austin’s original planning.
Improvements were made to the structure. In November 1883, exterior walls were built and a slate roof was laid. This made Metropolitan the only building owned by Negroes to have a slate roof. All was done except the bell tower.
As Metropolitan grew and changed in those early years, the congregation adjusted to a succession of ministers in the names of:
1. Minister Frank Green
2. Rev. Edward Hammett
3. Rev. Jackson
4. Rev. W.H. Ross
5. Rev. Abraham Grant
On September 21, 1986, under the pastorate of Rev. Dr. David Harris, Metropolitan unveiled and dedicated its Historical Marker presented by the Texas Historical Commission. Then on April 23, 1987 the City changed the base zoning district from “SF-3 Family Residence to SF-Family Residence-Historical” on the property owned by the church.
In 1995 seven Projects for Progress were completed:
1. Acquired two lots behind the church
2. Installed an elevator in church
3. Purchased a Baby Grand Piano
4. Extended the choir loft
5. Installed thirteen stained glass windows
6. Extended the rear of the church, adding four additional rooms (choir room, Stewardess room, Minister's lounge (upstairs) and large storage room (downstairs)
7. Re-carpet the sanctuary
In 2004, Rev. N. Jordan Mkwanazi was assigned to Metropolitan.
Metropolitan A.M.E. Church has had forty pastors during her 143 years of existence. Each of whom has helped Metropolitan become the outstanding church that she is today.
