Church Motto: "The House of Faith"
Matthew 17:20…He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Church Theme 2010-2011
"A Season of Excellence " Psalm 8:1 (KJV)
About Salvation
Salvation is a personal decision that one makes to give Christ total control of their lives. Salvation is a free gift given by God to a sinful world. Romans Chapter 1:16 declares, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes”. Finally, Romans chapter 10 verse 9 shares with us that “if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”. Therefore, it’s a matter of believing, then receiving. If today you decide you want to give your life to Christ, then pray the following prayer:
God, I come today confessing that I’ve made mistakes and fallen short of your glory. Please have mercy on me and forgive me of my sins. Come into my heart and take control of my life. I believe that Jesus died for me on the cross and today I receive him as my Lord and Savior. Lord save me! I pray this prayer in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Saint Paul A.M.E. Church has its beginning in the home of Sister Mary Larey in the year 1870. She and her husband, Brother Elder Larey, lived in a community near Macon known as Lareysville. She first organized a prayer meeting in her home and invited the neighbors to worship with her once a week. It was not long before the room proved to be too small to accommodate the congre- gation each week. Sister Larey also organized a Sunday School and gathered together the children of that community for instruction. The Blue-Black speller and Turner's Catechism were the literature mostly used.
Her daughter, Lizzie Larey, who afterward became Sister Lizzie Harris, was the first Sunday School teacher. This mission grew very rapidly and it was not long before they needed a minister to preach to them. Rev. W.H. Pack, at that time pastor of Steward Chapel AMEC, sent Brother Sipio Robinson, a local preacher of his church, to pastor them.
Sister Mary Larey was an African Methodist and her husband, Mr. Elder Larey, was a Missionary Baptist. The two congregations continued to grow so rapidly that Brother Larey's denomination met on one Sunday and Sister Larey's denomination met the next. But the time came when both denominations could not continue to exist in peace at the same meeting place. Subsequently, Brother London Armstrong, who had bought a plot of land, in what is now known as North Highland, gave the Methodists a piece of this land for an AME Church, while the Baptist group became known as Lizzieboro Baptist Church.
Thus, it can be clearly seen that from this small beginning in Mr. and Mrs. Larey's home, two strong and progressive churches have grown, one an African Methodist and the other a Missionary Baptist...READ MORE
