The mission of the African Episcopal Church is to gather the people of God from the four corners of the earth, uniting them as one body and one people under the banner of Yahusha HaMeschiach (Jesus the Christ), our only Lord and Savior.
African Liturgy:
At Metropolitan Cathedral, we follow the traditional liturgical year, beginning with the season of Advent – a time of anticipation as we prepare to welcome our infant King, Yahusha HaMeschiach (Jesus the Christ). As part of the one, holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic Church, we embrace the sacred rhythm of the liturgical seasons.
Our celebration of the liturgy incorporates both standard liturgical elements and Afrocentric expressions, reflecting the unique spiritual and cultural identity of the African Episcopal Church. While grounded in the broader traditions of liturgical worship, we also embrace distinctive customs that set us apart from other liturgical churches, enriching our worship experience with a dynamic blend of reverence and cultural heritage.
