The call of Christ to the church is a call to make disciples of ALL nations (ethnic groups). This is also the Conference's and our United Methodist Connections mission. For generations, African American Churches have provided an important witness in the work of disciple-making - reaching many who likely would not have come to know the love of Jesus without this vital African American witness. The continued and increased accomplishment of our God-given mission to make disciples requires that the African American/Black Churches of the Central Texas Conference be strong, vibrant and growing. As part of its AACtion! initiative, the members of the Cental Texas Annual Conference voted to set aside $1 million to invest in and resource CTC African American/Black churches for growth and disciple-making ministry.
