Our Mission
We are a community of God’s caring people, where the gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed; disciples are made; and lives are transformed, equipped and empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring liberation throughout the community and world.

Our Vision
We believe God is calling us through the Holy Spirit, to a ministry of excellence, that seeks to reach all persons by providing a warm and loving Christian atmosphere, where children, youth, adults and families are nurtured and equipped to reach their God-given potential; to be an advocate for community empowerment: and, a prophetic voice for all oppressed peoples with love, grace and justice as our guiding force.

Our Core Values

We "Celebrate"
Our African American Heritage & Culture
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.“

Dynamic, transformational, spirit-filled Praise & Worship
“Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.”


We "Embrace"
Diversity & Inclusiveness
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

The caring and nurturing of “The Village”
“You’ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You’ll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again.


We "Educate" through
Reflective study of the Scriptures
“My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge,”

Supporting Academic Excellence & Higher Education
“I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on the human race!”


We "Dedicate" ourselves to
Community Involvement
“Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”

The struggle for Liberation & Social Justice
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,”

A lifestyle of Stewardship, Prayer and Spiritual Discipline
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is true worship.”

Making Disciples for Jesus Christ
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,…”

and;

A Ministry of Excellence
“You do so well in so many things – you trust God, you’re articulate, you’re insightful, you’re passionate, you love us – now, do your best in this too.”
