History and Background:
A lbina M in iste ria l A lliance
(AM A) is an ecumenical organization
involving 40 or more Ministers serv­
ing congregations in North/Northeast
Portland It was organized more than
50 years ago by local African Ameri­
can M inisters in an a ttem p t to
strengthen and enhance their minis­
tries as Pastors Realizing that strength
comes from many hearts striving to­
wards the same goal, the organization
(after some years) in 1964 became
integrated to include clergy of all eth­
nic and denominational backgrounds.
In 1971, having recognized the need

outside the church walls, AMA be­
came incorporated.
With incorporation came pro­
grams initiated by the local lay-people
seeking to strengthen our community.
During the past tw enty (20) years may
programs in our community hav e come
and gone, however programs that be­
come part of AMA have remained and
are experiencing tremendous growth.
We began the 1980’s with a bud­
get of $500,000.00 and grew to 3.5
million by 1992 Our current budget is
approximately two (2) million dollars
(due to the transition in the program)
Presently operating under the um­
brella of AMA are five (5) programs:
AMA Family Day & Night Care, Self
Enhancement Incorporation, Neigh­
borhood Connections, One Church
One Child, and Emergcncy/Commu-
nity Serv ices.
