Planting African American Churches in Ohio
So far we have had two preparatory meetings for the purpose of opening a discussion about planting African American churches. Because our FGBC has so few churches led by African American men, we decided to pursue them for the vision and plans that will enable us to have ten such churches by the year 2020 in Ohio. Stephen Joyce (Washington D.C.) has been invited to lead the discussions with the Millers (Toledo, OH) and the Curtis's (Dayton, OH).
At our first meeting, Pastor Stephen Joyce exhorts his fellow African American pastors and their wives. We love his enthusiasm for Christ and His Church.
Our second meeting was Saturday, February 19th. Here is how we got started–don't miss this:
