our vision, mission, and values

Our Vision

Our vision at The Church And Race® is to see the Unified Church reach the world for Christ (John 17:20-23). Church unity is core to our being. This can happen when The Church removes all (racial) barriers that keep Us separate from Each Other.

Our mission

Our mission at The Church And Race® is to racially unify The Church at the grassroots level. Our approach has been to actively engage those sitting in the pew, while encouraging and supporting those standing at the podium. Church Members following God's Word in this area encourage Church Leaders to teach God's Word and lead in this area.

Our values

  • We stand on the Bible, God’s Word and Holy Scripture, for direction and application of all we do. (Psalms 119:105,111; Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17)

  • We seek and present the truth in all matters, since God is Truth. (Numbers 23:19; John 1:14; John 14:16-17; John 17:17; John 16:13; John 4:24)

  • We rely on the Holy Spirit to be the witnesses we are called to be. (Acts 1:8; John 14:16-18, 26; John 15:26; John 16:7-8, 13-14)
Christianity and Critical Race Theory

“...Understanding where we are and how we got here is a critical first step. But more importantly, how do we turn the unity God always meant for us to enjoy into one of the defining features of the church when it comes to race?

We now have a voice that brings clarity, disarming understanding, and grace center-stage to this dialogue. Sam Melvin’s personal experience, commitment to biblical integrity and deep respect for all people is the fresh water the church needs – we all need – to move from where we are to where God always meant for us to be.”
