Abstract

This action research project, with the utmost respect for the participants, aims to assess the ability of the members of Prince of Peace Missionary Baptist Church to counter the claims of Black religious identity cults, Black conscious community, and Black atheists who assert that Christianity is a religion that belongs only to White people. The study's main objective was to design an African-American church curriculum that addresses the purpose of this research. The new training curriculum aims to offer essential information to church members about the ancient African connection to Christianity that existed long before the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The expectation is that church members will be able to articulate the information the curriculum provides conversationally. The participants in this study, who are at least 18 years old, have graciously consented to participate. Each participant will take a theological assessment at the beginning and end of the course to evaluate their growth. The assessments will be confidential. The assessment/survey data will be recorded in an MS Access database architected by the researcher and visualized using the MS Power BI dashboard developed by the researcher.
