The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (CME Church) is a historically black Methodist denomination in the United States. It was founded in 1870 by 41 former slave members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South who met in Jackson, Tennessee to form an organization that would allow them to establish and maintain their own polity. The CME Church is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.
The CME Church has about 1.2 million members in over 7,000 churches in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. It is a mainline denomination that holds to traditional Methodist beliefs. It is active in evangelism and missions.
The CME Church is a congregational denomination, which means that each church is autonomous and self-governing. The CME Church has a national body, the General Conference of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, which provides resources and support to its member churches.
The CME Church is a diverse denomination that holds to a wide range of theological beliefs. However, all CME churches share a commitment to evangelism, missions, and traditional Methodist beliefs.
Here are some of the key beliefs of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church:
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
- Salvation is by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
