Dear Black Liberation Church Family,

As we continue to seek Almighty God’s guidance in serving our community faithfully and effectively,

The Black Liberation Church is entering a season of transition and discernment.

At this time, we are moving from in-person worship to an online ministry format, allowing us to expand our reach and remain connected in new and meaningful ways. While our gathering space is changing, our mission remains the same: to glorify God, advance liberation theology, and care for one another in faith and community.

During this season, Rev. Dr. Derrick Shahem Johnson Sr., BCC, Pastor, is on sabbatical for spiritual renewal and revision for the next season of ministry. Though we are not gathering in person at Riverside Church at this time, we remain deeply committed to spiritual formation, prophetic witness, and community care.

Details regarding upcoming online worship experiences and future gatherings will be shared here.

Thank you for your prayers, patience, and faithful support during this sacred season.

Peace and Blessings,
Rev. Dr. Derrick Shahem Johnson Sr., BCC
Pastor, The Black Liberation Church
