God delivers me

the long version

Strengthening the Black Church for the 21st Century is a program designed to assist United Methodist churches with predominantly black congregations become effective in mission and ministry. It does this by linking successful congregational resource centers with congregations that are in search of new ideas and revitalization. It is a tremendous venture in African American United Methodist churches that challenges the belief that the United Methodist Church is dying. United Methodist churches with predominantly black congregations are growing and maturing at a rapid rate, and it's because of the training and techniques gained through SBC21. (Back cover).
