African American Ministries

The African American Ministries (AAM) seeks to advance the vision of the PCA, which is to “glorify God by extending the kingdom of Jesus Christ over all individual lives through all areas of society and in all nations and cultures.”

To reach “all cultures,” we need the presence, perspective, and influence of African American leaders, as well as churches that welcome them.

AAM aims to catalyze new church plants led by African American elders.

We do this by building an influential community of thriving African American leaders and congregants through resources and relationships out of which we recruit, support, and mobilize church planters.

More staff and resources will help us:

• Coach & Mentor: Emerging leaders need support during seminary, internships, and ordination. We’ll walk alongside them during the journey.
• Recruit & Consult: Churches are looking for qualified and diverse leaders. We provide consultation to identify potential candidates and help them thrive when hired.
• Plant Churches: We need new churches in the PCA that include all kinds of people. We identify and resource African American church planters toward this end.
