Black Methodists for Church Revival (BMCR)

Black Methodists for Church Revival (BMCR) is the organized Black caucus of the United Methodist Church. We are one of the United Methodist denomination’s five U.S.-based ethnic caucuses. BMCR represents and is dedicated to more than 2,400 Black United Methodist congregations and approximately 500,000 African American members across the denomination.

BMCR continues to be a necessary force for change and accountability in the United Methodist Church today. This change and accountability spills over and benefits the Church’s global body. The tremendous need for Black leadership at the Episcopal and General Conference levels remains. The Church must be encouraged to maintain a global perspective, especially toward developing, African and Caribbean nations. The local church must be empowered with capable lay and clergy leadership. So much is still to be done.
