Rev. Dr. Floyd Flake - Sept 23 & 24
Senior Pastor of Allen AME Cathedral, Jamaica, New York
Reverend Dr. Floyd H. Flake is the senior pastor of the 10,000 member Allen African Methodist Episcopal Church in Jamaica, Queens. During his 21-year pastorate, Allen has become one of the nation's foremost Christian churches and non-profit corporations. The church's annual operating budget of nearly $24 million, expansive commercial and residential development, 500-student private school, and various commercial and social service enterprises have placed it among the nation's most productive religious and urban development institutions. The 11 corporations, church administrative offices, school, and ministries comprise an 825-person workforce, making it one of the Borough of Queens' three largest private sector employers.
Allen A.M.E.'s $24 million operation is a national paradigm of church and nonprofit efficiency. Allen A.M.E. has attracted a unique cadre of skilled corporate directors, corporate operations executives, commercial bankers, educators, and social service providers to establish a leadership model for community-based faith organizations. In fact, if Allen were a forprofit entity, it would appear as one of the nation's 100 largest African Americanowned enterprises. Allen Church is the second largest African-American employer in New York City behind the TLC Beatrice Corporation.
Further, Allen's administrative structure, efficiency, and development efforts have increasingly attracted international and national recognition in print and electronic media. Under Reverend Floyd Flake's leadership and true to its Christian doctrine of self-help and communal responsibility, Allen Church has provided resources and guidance for innumerable faith-based and secular institutions across the many years and nation.
Dr. Flake earned the Doctor of Ministry Degree from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, OH. In addition he holds other degrees from Wilberforce University.
