WAYMAN AME CHURCH'S STEINWAY FUND

Transforming Lives Through Music

This year Wayman African Methodist Episcopal Church turned 100 years old. As we look forward to the next hundred years, we are taking our music ministry to the next level. We recognize that music encourages discipline, increases confidence and allows self-expression especially for our youth.  

Today we embark on a fundraising campaign to acquire an instrument worthy of our commitment to God. The Steinway Grand Piano. 

There is no instrument more capable of inspiring the teaching and preaching of God’s Word, in the spirit of uniting people in Christian love. 

About Us

Wayman African Methodist Episcopal Church

Spirit-Filled, Authentic, and Transformational 

Transforming Lives Through Music

1 Corinthians 2:9. "But, as it is written, 'What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him'—"

A community Bible-based church in North Minneapolis, we are striving to transform and enhance lives of our neighbors through our music ministry. We are Wayman African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, a small 100-year old AME Church in North Minneapolis, Minnesota believing God for one of His best instruments, The Steinway Piano, as an inspiring instrument in our teaching and preaching God’s Word, uniting people in Christian love, and recounting the salvation story in music.

Our Goal

Wayman African Methodist Episcopal Church will serve as the Piano’s home. But this will be an instrument for the entire Northside community, located in Minneapolis, MN. Yes, the people’s Steinway. 

With this exquisite instrument, we will touch the lives of those in our community who do not have access to the quality that only a Steinway provides. This community beacon will give students, artists, musicians and choirs the opportunity to hold live-stream concerts and recitals, right here in North Minneapolis.

It takes 12,000 parts and countless effort hours over a period of one year to create a Steinway Grand Piano. The cost? $120,000. This is indeed a serious investment.  The Steinway Grand Piano is built to last 100 years.

But when you consider the return 100 years of transforming lives through music it’s easy to see its value. Understandably we are calling our fundraising effort “Play it Forward.”

Almighty God is not limited in His resources nor His blessings!
