Cluster Meetings
AAMA
has organized cluster meetings according to geographic locations.
Cluster Meetings are held to have a time of worship, fellowship,
ministerial sharing, and other networking purposes. Although it is
divided regionally, everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend other
cluster meetings. As we grow, we see a great need for this community to
continue to create a place where our members can build deeper meaningful
relationships; reminding each other we are walking this journey called
life together for the glory of God.

Family Winter Retreat
AAMA
hosts a space for our families to get together for deeper fellowship
and connection around the time between Christmas and New Years. It is a
combination of worship, fellowship, continuing education, and council
meeting. There were such times, when the Bishop or our District
Superintendents graciously led seminars and small groups which greatly
supported our members in deepening our pastoral and administrative
leadership skills. Everyone is invited to register and participate,
including our families. Please join us in this time of Family Retreat!
For more information, please contact Rev. Won Gyu Lee, AAMA Vice
President ([email protected]).
