In preparation for the March 2024 North Georgia Nominations process, NGBMCR hosted a Nominations Training Session on Oct. 17 via Zoom for all interested individuals who desire to serve on a Conference board or committee. Our goal is to ensure that our Black Churches in North Georgia have a place at the table and that our interests are fully represented, considered and addressed.  If you are interested or know someone who would be an excellent candidate to contribute please contact Rev. Keya Hillman, NGBMCR Nominations Chair at keya.hillman@ngumc.net. The session was led by Rev. Dr. Brian Tillman, Director of Inclusion and Advocacy, Center for Congregational Excellence. Please help us to expand diversity in leadership roles at the Conference Level!

A Message from our NGBMCR Chairperson

November 18, 2023, was indeed a “solemn day” as reported by the North Georgia Annual Conference.  For, it was the day that 261 churches officially disaffiliated from our conference—from our United Methodist family, including the historically Black church St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta.  The North Georgia Caucus of Black Methodists for Church Renewal (NGBMCR) extends a loving and welcoming hand to all Black  United Methodists in the North Georgia Conference who are feeling disenfranchised from their worship community.

Nevertheless, amid and in spite of these struggles, generations of African Americans have countered efforts to dilute their voice and vote. From Reconstruction to “Souls to the Polls” campaigns, Black Americans have moved in ways that affirm their role in making democracy real. More

Greg and Lorre Roe live in Grants Pass, Oregon. Two years ago, on Palm Sunday, they searched Facebook for their hometown church, Newman United Methodist Church. Instead, they found Newman United Methodist Church in Alexandria, Louisiana. Since that Sunday, they've been deeply connected to the church and its pastor. And today, they met in person for the first time after the Roes traveled over 2,000 miles to visit.
