The Brown Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church series (1.5 linear feet and 842 KB) illustrates the rich history of the church and of Mullins' commitment to it. Among the documents are anniversary programs, board minutes, correspondence, newspaper articles, and materials concerning their involvement in civil rights programs. The annual Brotherhood Banquet is particularly well documented, with eight folders of planning material, programs, press releases, and clippings.

The bulk of the series contains minutes and agendas from the various committees that Mullins was involved with. The 150th Anniversary Committee has the largest amount of material and contains minutes, correspondence, and fliers. There is also a large amount of material from the Building Committee, which includes architecture drawings, correspondence, and minutes.

The "minutes and agendas" folder contains materials from Trustee meetings, Board meetings, and Church Conference meetings. These committees were grouped together to reflect the original order of the collection. Materials that were interfiled within these minutes and notes, such as correspondence and reports, were kept in their given location.

In addition, the series contains a folder of administrative procedures and information. There is a document of procedures to follow for general vouchers, a list of regular meeting dates for all of the church boards and committees, a list of Brown Chapel ministries, and a draft of bereavement procedures.
