The North Carolina Synod’s African Descent Strategy Team is a partnership with the North Carolina Chapter of AALA, the Multicultural Committee and the Outreach Committee.

Grow and strengthen the ministry of persons of African Descent in predominantly Caucasion congregations, especially in communities with a high percentage of persons of African Descent (30%+).

The African Descent Strategy Team is committed to helping the church develop a culture that provides opportunities for persons of African Descent to assume and be trained for positions of authority and leadership at both synodical and national levels.

The Church of the Abiding Savior, Durham, and Prince of Peace, Greensboro, are composed primarily of persons of African Descent. It is critical to assist congregations to continue as vital centers of ministry. Therefore, it will be important to assess needs, develop plans, and dedicate resources to strengthen and support them.
