Upcoming Events

“Call and Response: The Black Church at the Intersection of Faith and Action” highlights the historic and ongoing role of the Black Church as a “place” of both spiritual faith and social action. While serving as a cornerstone of Black religious culture, the Black Church is both a place of spiritual transformation and a source of community impact providing a space for worship, community support and mobilization for social justice causes. Rooted in liberation theology, the Black Church connects biblical teachings to the struggle against oppression and mobilizes efforts for justice and equality. The Black Church has been a voice for social change, inspiring and engaging social action as an expression of Christian faith and witness. All worship services are inspired by the worship traditions and liberating witness of the Black Church and explore the BCS Consultation theme.
