Why This Change Matters
The information we are gathering to share at this conference is more important than ever. In this moment in our country, it is vital that we provide the greatest possible access to our community.
While we worked to make the original plans accessible, we recognized that cost and capacity limitations prevented us from fully meeting that goal. Our responsibility in this moment is not just to convene—but to ensure that these conversations reach the people who need them most.
THE CALL OF THE MOMENT
The world is shifting and so must we.
The Black Church has always been the soul of every movement.
From civil rights to cultural renaissance, we’ve carried the vision and the voice.
But now, we face a new frontier: banned books, voter suppression, AI inequity, disappearing DEI programs, and the re-segregation of schools and spaces.
The question isn’t if the Church still matters.
The question is, will we still lead?
The State of the Black Church Conference is the answer.
It’s not a performance. It’s a plan.
Not a revival. A realignment.
This is the table where faith meets strategy, where conviction meets collaboration, and where the Black Church meets the future.
WHY YOU CAN'T MISS THIS
This isn’t about another inspirational weekend.
It’s about building the infrastructure for the next generation of Black power.
You belong here if you:
Lead in the Church, community, school, or city hall.
Feel the urgency of the moment and need clear direction.
Want to move your influence from passion to measurable impact.
Are ready to collaborate instead of compete.
You’ll leave with:
A Movement Strategy Map for your church or organization.
Exclusive access to the latest BMC data on the Black Church, consumer activism, and justice trends.
Blueprints and tools for faith-based civic action, media response, and community mobilization.
National connections with partners who can amplify your mission.
BLACK CHURCH CONFERENCE
A MOVEMENT. NOT JUST A MEETING.
The Black Community has never been neutral — and in this moment of cultural erasure, political backlash, and economic vulnerability, we cannot afford to be silent.
This isn’t a conference for performance. It’s a strategy gathering for serious people who believe that Black faith still has the power to shape culture, protect freedom, and build the future.
