The Brown Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church series (1 linear foot) 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 several folders of planning material, programs, press releases, and clippings.

"Organizational records" contains the bulk of the material, with meeting minutes, committee records, budgets, by-laws and articles of incorporation, and other related materials. The bulk of the series contains minutes and agendas from the various committees of which Mullins was an active participant. The 150th Anniversary Committee has the largest amount of material and contains minutes, correspondence, and flyers. There is also a large amount of material from the Building Committee, which includes architecture drawings, correspondence, and minutes.

In addition, the series contains a folder of administrative procedures and information, including a procedural document, 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.
