Ministries

Regional Ministries serves as an administrative and promotional body. We work to help implement programs and services for African-Americans in the Oregon Conference; while coordinating activities with other Oregon Conference ministries focusing on African-American populations. Our staff provides consultation and evangelistic direction, as well as aid for multicultural awareness and adequate resources for ministry to ethnic groups. We are also committed to improving human relations within diverse communities.
