- Abstract
- Union Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church has been in existence since 1878, but will it remain? Some members who joined the church became part of a continuously revolving door, walking almost directly out the back door before their probationary period ended. Reasons given for their departures were no demonstration of love, service of unity within the congregation. Some members wavered in their spiritual growth as a by-product of lack of prayer and weakened commitment to their relationship with God. The intent of this project is to improve the spiritual health of the church by employing intentional discipline practices: prayer, devotion, meditation, worship. The research focuses on the spiritual transformation of the members based on past commitments to the ministry, devotion to God, present accountability towards the means of grace and personal relationship with God. Continuing evaluation of the membership will be based on Quadrilateral Theory using Union Chapel, an African American culture, as a model.
