Mission Statement

This Ministry is committed to broadening the perspective of African Americans to the cultural, social, political, economic and educational contributions made by Africans of Caribbean descent to the family tapestry making up the history of Africans in the Diaspora. The Caribbean Connection Ministry's purpose is to support and advocate for Africans in the Diaspora through education efforts and initiatives. We are passionately following Paul in his letter to the Philippi in Philippians 2:4 "Let each of you look out not only for his own interest but also for the interest of others."
