Saint Luke A.M.E. Development Corporation Relaunches with Renewed Vision for Harlem

For generations, Saint Luke African Methodist Episcopal Church has been a beacon of hope, love, and justice in Harlem and its surrounding boroughs. Through initiatives such as blood pressure drives, HIV testing, women’s health events, feeding programs, and childcare services, the church has never wavered in its commitment to serve its community.

Now, under the dynamic leadership of the Reverend Orsella R. Hughes, the church’s nonprofit arm has been relaunched and rebranded as the Saint Luke A.M.E. Development Corporation, continuing its rich legacy of service with an expanded mission and vision for the future.

Anchored by its mission “To Advance Hope, Show Love, and Promote Justice – For Every Generation,” the Development Corporation is dedicated to fostering a multigenerational community rooted in equity and opportunity. Pastor Hughes shared, “This relaunch reflects not only our deep commitment to Harlem but also our desire to uplift and empower every generation through holistic care and impactful outreach.”

The rebranding effort is supported by a clear vision: “A community where hope, love, and justice empower every generation.” This vision is embodied in three core values:

• Advance Hope: Building unity through relationships, community-centered events, and investments in local nonprofits and small businesses.
• Show Love: Serving the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of Harlem residents through partnerships and care-driven outreach.
• Promote Justice: Educating and engaging the community in social justice initiatives, amplifying local organizations that advocate for equality.

With this renewed focus, the Development Corporation is poised to expand its efforts, supporting initiatives that will benefit Harlem residents of all ages while strengthening partnerships with local organizations and stakeholders.

Saint Luke AME Church invites the community to stay connected through its website, www.thelukenyc.org, and follow its journey on social media to witness its impactful work and learn how to get involved.

The relaunch of the Saint Luke A.M.E. Development Corporation is not just a continuation of its service to Harlem but a bold step forward, ensuring that the legacy of faith, love, and service continues to thrive for generations.
