OUR PURPOSE
To empower Black Methodists for effective witness and service among pastors, laity in local United Methodist churches, conferences and schools, and the larger community.
To encourage and involve Black Methodists and others in the struggle for economic and social justice.
To expose latent and overt forms of racism in all local and regional agencies and institutions of The North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church.
To act as an agitating conscience on all local agencies of the North Georgia Conference in order to keep them sensitive to the needs and expressions of a genuinely inclusive and relevant Church.
To keep before the United Methodist Church and the North Georgia Conference the crucial issues facing us by initiating action and supporting Black United Methodist Church congregations which realistically deal with the needs of Black people and the issues spelled out in “The Findings of Black Methodists for Church Renewal,” and other occasional documents adopted by BMCR, Inc.
To initiate, develop, and implement strategies and instruments for the development, the maintenance, and the growth of strong Black local United Methodist Churches.
To provide an instrument through which we can educate and cultivate the Black constituency of the United Methodist Church and the North Georgia Conference toward a greater knowledge of missions within the North Georgia Conference.
