 Dr. Jesse Miranda was always mindful of the terminology used when discussing church models, particularly when referring to the concept of the "Brown Church” used in comparison to the "Black Church" model, which has long been rooted in civic engagement, social justice, community & economic development, empowered through a faith-rooted mandate. The “Brown Church” model must be a participatory and transformative contributor to the quality of community life.

The JMC is deeply committed to fostering collaboration and wants to work with pastors to help them better engage with their communities. The JMC envisions training pastors to lead in ways that create tangible, positive change within their local neighborhoods, driving meaningful “community development efforts.”

 As founding members of the National Diversity Coalition/NDC, JMC’s goal is to partner with other organizations and institutions to further this mission. Stay tuned as we work toward building stronger, transformative community networks.
