Founded in 1887, the Christian Education Department (CED) of the A.M.E. Zion Church provides supervision, guidance, direction and overall support of the Christian training and nurture of children, youth, young adults and adults throughout the A. M. E. Zion Church. The Christian Education Department was created for the promotion and supervision of the Christian training and development of the entire membership of the denomination.

Often described as a "cradle to the grave" ministry, Christian Education supports Christian development in homes, churches, camps as well as church-related schools, colleges and seminaries. All ministries of the church operate under the umbrella of the Christian Education Dept.

The Christian Education Department offers workshops, seminars, conferences and conventions that help develop effective skills in Christian Educators and those striving for a closer walk with the Lord. It also establishes curriculum and other standards to support Christian Education programs at every level of the church.
