| Children's Church The Christian Education Department seeks to inform the Church in all phases of Church School work. Our work encompasses giving direction to the study of the Bible and developing vital Christian living and effective church membership. Children's Church was developed to give children from ages 2-12 a bible lesson during worship service. A Children's Church teacher will escort your child to our multi-purpose room before the Pastor's sermon. The children will learn a lesson based on the scripture of the Pastor's sermon. Then, the children as a group will present to the congregation what they have learned. We welcome you and your family to visit John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church. Children's Church Teachers: Sis. Andrea Evans Sis. Mary Jane Johnson Min. Allison Lightner Bro. Marcus McClain Sis. Shaia McClain Min. Nicole Batey Sis. Alison Penny |
| Prison Ministry John Wesley's Prison Ministry is partnered with Powerhouse Restoration Ministries. Every 2nd Sunday of the month, the prison ministry visits the Women's Detention Center on Eager Street in Baltimore City and does a worship service with the female inmates.

| Men's Ministry The Men's Fellowship meets the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm on John Wesley's lower level. The Men's Fellowship is headed by Brother Charles Williams. Men are able to study the Word of God while developing close friendships with other Christian men. The men's fellowship is dedicated to holding each brother accountable for his actions and encourage his growth in the Lord. Our theme is based on Psalm 133:1 and Proverbs 27:17 and I Thessalonians 5:11. Always remember: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1 |
| Women's Ministry Women's ministry meets the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm for an interactive bible study. Currently, we are studying the Bad Girls of the Bible. Our purpose is to encourage one another to be transformed by the renewing of our minds according to Romans 12:1-2 and promote fellowship among sisters in Jesus Christ. |
