Black Church Studies Student Testimonials

“The Black Church Studies Certificate Program has exceeded my expectations. The professors are well-versed and passionate about their subject matter. I recommend that every leader in the church attend. It's a life-changing experience. Everywhere I go, whether to a conference, a women's ministry meeting, or a one-on-one conversation with multi-cultural people, I have encouraged others to enroll in the program.”—Yolanda Wilson

“The Black Church Studies offers all people a chance to understand more clearly the history of the African American Church (where they were, where they are today, and the obstacles that were there to overcome) but also what needs to be done for the community as a whole to move forward. I highly recommend that all churches provide opportunities for members of their congregations to participate in the Black Church Studies Program …” —Jim Holland

"The Black Church Studies program has just magnified my understanding of the Black Church in so many ways... learning about the history of the Black Church from our textbook and gleaning so much from our professors allows me to have a deeper insight into the very essence of the Black Church. I would recommend this program to others so that they can experience personal and spiritual growth in order to be a better servant to their church for Jesus Christ."—Lee Young
