Our Church

Our Story

Welcome to Williams Chapel AME Zion Church, a beacon of faith nestled in the heart of Maxton, NC. Since our humble beginnings, we have been guided by a profound love for God and an unwavering commitment to our community.

Over the decades, our church has grown and flourished, not in size, but in spirit. Despite our small congregation, we are rich in love, compassion, and faith. Each member of our church family plays a vital role in our collective journey of faith, contributing their talents, time, and prayers to the work of the Lord.

At Williams Chapel, we believe in the power of community and the importance of reaching out beyond our walls to serve those in need. From organizing food drives to supporting local initiatives, we strive to be a source of hope and encouragement in the town of Maxton and beyond.

Our Beliefs

The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church professes the historical faith in God, who by Himself – outpouring, was manifest incarnate in Jesus Christ for our salvation. By God’s grace and the power of His Holy Spirit all believers become the new humanity. The incarnation having reached its completion in Jesus, who is the Christ, is continuing in the Church and is overcoming the calamity of the human predicament.

We strive in the hope that the Church will grow from sinful existence through purification to oneness with God. Our Heritage in doctrine and our present theological task demand that we renew our faith and understanding of the love of God, our Father, and the lordship of His Son, Jesus. We believe that all who have faith in Him will be empowered and invigorated by the Holy Spirit to risk all for the reconciling work and fulfillment of the Kingdom of God.
