Storefront Churches




African Americans to express their feelings about the struggles and hardships they faced everyday in their lives. They also provided a focus point for community unity and engagement.
Storefronts are still very much apart of the African American Christian experience today; furthermore, the storefront church has also emerged within other cultures: “Storefront churches today are not just black and urban. Many have recently been established in Latino- and Asian-dominated neighborhoods, as well as poorer rural communities, typically serving similar functions as the storefront churches in historically black communities.”(http://www.psb.org).
