Black Voices is a missional arm of Circuit Riders / Youth with a Mission that focuses on reaching and empowering young Black men and women with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our staff team are all self-funded missionaries that work with Circuit Riders, but the movement and network includes thousands of young people across America and other nations. Our vision is to activate young Black leaders in the missional calling of Jesus Christ–to share the gospel and lead others to Christ through their lives. We accomplish this through several avenues: the Black Voices evangelistic tour (focused on HBCU’s and predominantly Black communities), Black Voices Music, our social media, and year round leadership trainings and rallies hosted across America. Our goal is that any young person that engages with any element of Black Voices, will find a revived passion to live fully for Jesus and practical skillsets to lead a missional life.

Revelation 7:9 states that “every nation, tribe, people, and language” will stand before the throne of Jesus. This is the end goal of every believers’ Great Commission! And in order to reach every people group, we as the Church must also empower every people group as missionaries of the gospel. When you look specifically at the missions movement in America, less than 1% of those who are in missions are Black. This is just one indicator of the missional engagement of Black Gen Z. As we empower this generation to preach and share the gospel, we will see more of the generation come to faith in Christ. Black Voices is not a local church that seeks to be predominantly Black, it is a missions organization equipping young Black leaders to reach their generation. And similar to why a church may host a separate women’s or men’s ministry, Black Voices is an opportunity to uniquely gather, minister to, and empower young Black individuals in the Great Commission to reach all the earth with the gospel.

Black Voices Movement aims to empower young Black leaders to rise and bring solutions through discipleship, evangelism, and acts of mercy in their communities and globally. We unite leaders to take meaningful, collective action.

The purpose is to inspire, equip, and mobilize leaders to walk confidently in their faith and calling. It’s a time for connection, storytelling, encouragement, and being challenged to live out your faith with action.

Yes! Join by hosting or attending a gathering, participating in training, or taking action. There are also volunteer opportunities through the Circuit Rider Experience or full-time involvement with Circuit Riders.

We are a multi-denominational movement connected with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), welcoming believers from diverse Christian backgrounds. Our focus is on spreading Jesus’ love through evangelism and community impact.

Our Black Voices Spring tour and Rallies are free of cost.

Our leadership training tracks and intensives do have a registration fee, which covers both housing and airport transportation.

The focus of Black Voices is to reach, train, and empower young Black leaders. While this is our main focus, Black Voices also intentionally makes space to serve and collaborate with the larger body of Christ! Because of this, we have three different tiers of types of events that we provide.

One tier would be our events where we collaborate with church communities. Everyone is absolutely welcome to join in these events, as they are an expression of coming together across the church!

The second tier would be our Black Voices Rallies and Tour events. Similarly, all are welcome to these events, though there will be much more of a focus here in the communication and ministry to speak to the Black population.

Our third tier would be our training tracks, such as our Black Voices Tracks within Circuit Riders’ training schools and our Black Voices Intensive. Since these environments are the most distinctly shaped to speak to and minister to a shared experience of the Black population, this is primary space where we ask that attendees are ethnically Black, out of respect for the purpose of this space.

Join with us in the mission of reaching and empowering young Black leaders. This could look like signing up as a host of one of our events: with the above sign up link, through your church, college, or community.

Share the opportunity of Black Voices with others you know: whether our music, our events, or our leadership training, we welcome you to spread the word!

Fuel the mission financially: You can donate on the link above. Black Voices & Circuit Riders are movements of missionaries. Everything that we do is fueled by the generosity of others who value the vision of the mission!

As a branch of Youth with a Mission and Circuit Riders, while we deeply value the topic of justice, our primary focus is in foundational discipleship, evangelism and missions mobilization. Our events and trainings are focused on young leaders finding their calling in Christ, and gaining practical skillsets to share the gospel through their lives. Black Voices provides teaching on the Biblical theology of justice within our leadership training tracks. While mobilizing acts of justice is not a primary element of Black Voices, we are in friendship with the Christian organization, Civil Righteousness. Civil Righteousness is a great community to be a part of if you seek to gain deeper involvement in issues of social justice.
