About Us

It is the purpose of the Michigan Black Presbyterian Caucus to combat racism and injustice and to achieve and sustain full participation of its members in the total Church and society through emphasis on the spiritual growth of individual members and promoting growth and strengthening of Black Presbyterian membership in our denomination, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). We shall continually focus on concerns stemming from Black religious, cultural, political, and economic traditions, and we shall speak and act on those issues that adversely affect the lives of Black people. We exist as an organization because we want the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to always take its calling and ministry for the Black Community seriously.
