FAITH BASED – The Coalition of Covenant Churches

The Coalition of Covenant Churches', lead by Senior Pastor Gary V. Simpson of The Concord Baptist Church of Christ, objective is to "revitalize the roll that Black American spirituality has played in our struggle for survival and our fight for justice. [We] reaffirm that we have 'come this far by faith' and that Black churches play a vital role in sustaining, developing, and protecting Black communities".

Pastors and Black churches across the country are invited to join the Coalition. All members will work together locally, regionally, and nationally to support The Covenant with Black America's agenda, in order to improve the lives of all African Americans. The project activities include community teach-ins, preaching series' on each of the covenants, and strategic visits to Capitol Hill as a group representing the spiritual/religious voice of the Black American agenda.

As the Coalition moves forward, churches will engage in meaningful discussion about the empowerment of Black people as full participants in this democracy.
