During Black History Month let us be reminded that we are

empowered by God as those before us were; and as we

continue their work and pass down the legacies of our

struggles, great strides, faith, and strength, let us be

remember that we have not done this alone.

NBPC continues to count our blessing for the members and

and supporters that help to payoff the Stillman debt and

are working to make ‘your’ organization a strong and

viable resource to black Presbyterians.

Welcome to the National Black Presbyterian Caucus website. We are

committed to Jesus Christ, working to ensure that the witness of Presbyterians of

African descent is healthy, growing, dynamic and empowering; that racial justice is

integral in the church's self-understanding and lived out in every aspect of ministry

within the Presbyterian Church. Transformational church growth and leadership

development also remains a high priority for the NBPC.

On our website, you will find information about the Caucus -- Who we are, How we

can help you and/or your congregation, How you can get involved, highlights and

information past and upcoming events within the Regions, Chapters and across the

Church. We want to share with you some of the benefits and opportunities for

ministry that await you by becoming members of the National Black Presbyterian

Caucus. We hope you and your congregation will want to learn more about NBPC

and join with us for the betterment of God's works here on earth.
