We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism.

We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
