The office provides leadership at all levels of the denomination in order to strengthen the nurture and witness of African American Congregations. The main focus of the office is growth, health and vitality for these congregations and their ministries. This ministry works in partnership with presbyteries and congregations to help experience the unconditional love of God through Jesus Christ that empowers African American Congregations to be prophetic witnesses to the power of love to transform people, history, cultures and institutions. The African American Presbyterian LEGACY of prophetic leadership for justice and a culturally plural society has transformed the church and the world. We encourage congregations to build upon this legacy in the present age. This Photo by Unknown Author is This BLESSED HOPE is realized and manifested when God’s people (African American congregations) are biblically grounded, theologically sound, spiritually connected, culturally relevant, compassionate about concerns and embrace the core values listed below. CORE VALUES 1. Know their purpose for the congregation’s existence 2. BELIEVE and TRUST in the sovereignty of God 3. Develop a commitment to obey God’s will 4. Learn how to discern God’s will 5. Recognize the Spirit’s presence within Christian Believers 1 6. Believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to transform our lives, empower us to fulfill our ministry and to believe prophetic witnesses for Jesus 7. Sessions will become spiritual leaders who seek to motivate individuals to a missional spirituality that expresses God’s love to a marginalized people 8. Making disciples who demonstrate Christ like qualities, serve as missionaries in their communities in the world and are active participants in bringing about God’s realm on earth. Our congregations can become healthy, vital, growing and transforming congregations that will transform communities. This is a BLESSED HOPE. I believe what the word of God says: “Now to God who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can imagine.” – Ephesians 3:20 At the same time, the movement of God’s spirit is preparing our congregations to serve as partners with God in a transformation process. African American congregations can become transforming congregations that transform communities. There is a BLESSED HOPE! 2 SYNOD OF ALASKA NORTHWEST Presbytery of Seattle New Hope Revival Church 1717 Bellevue Way NE Bellevue, WA 98004-2853 [email protected] SYNOD OF THE COVENANT Presbytery of Cincinnati Carmel Presbyterian Church West Cincinnati Presbyterian Church 3549 Reading Road 1708 Baymiller Street Cincinnati, OH 45229 Cincinnati, OH 45214 (513) 281-8388 (513) 621-0041 [email protected] Rev.
