The flag of A.M.E. Zion can be seen in photographs online, particularly at
https://amezpublishinghouse.org,
flying outside the church's corporate headquarters. The flag features the A.M.E.
Zion triangular logo centered on a white field, with the words "The Freedom
Church" in black, italicized, case-sensitive, serif lettering below the logo.
The logo itself is complex, consisting of a black triangle bearing the name of
the church in white capital letters within the left and right legs of the
triangle, and the words "FOUNDED 1796" within the base leg of the triangle. That
date refers to the construction of the first black Methodist church in New York
City, which eventually led to the founding of A.M.E. Zion in 1821. Within the
borders of the black triangle, are the stylized letters "A," "M," "E," and "Z,"
along with a red Christian cross.
