About Us

The African American Ministries Department support a network of NCC regional churches.

Our department works with the pastors and their church members to reveal Jesus Christ to unbelievers, to edify those who believe, and to help prepare people for His second coming.

We assist in evangelistic budgeting, direct the process of pastoral selection and placement, serve as counselors in conflict resolution and arbitration, and aid in financial assistance for urban projects.

We stand as a resource agency for creating and developing new ministerial services.
