Prison Ministry
The Prison Ministry of Trinity AME Zion Church was organized on July 17, 1991 under the leadership of Dr. Joseph Johnson (Now Bishop Johnson). Its purpose was to carry the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ to incarcerated men and women in North Carolina.
Bennie and Cynthia Rice were named as Chairpersons of this Ministry and through their committed efforts several units within the state are still being visited.
Through the years the need for a Praise Team was recognized. In June 1997, the Holy Spirit guided and inspired Doris Dover to form “God’s Own”, A Praise Team. This group’s vision is to continue God’s praises through song.
