Hospitality in the Black Church

Passionate Worship

Jesus’ commands to love God and love neighbor demonstrate that one of the most important things we do as disciples of Jesus Christ is to seek and create opportunities to welcome and accept one another in love. While loving God and neighbor, we seek to build relationships that foster mutual care, acceptance, and worth.  In recent years, there has been a clarion call within the church to recapture the church’s ministry within the community by focusing on mission and outreach programs; however, many churches have failed to continuously evaluate and enhance their ministries and systems for welcoming and hospitality.
