February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate the contributions of Black Americans, reflect on our shared history, and commit ourselves to the ongoing work of racial justice. As United Methodists, we are called to stand against racism. Our Book of Discipline and Book of Resolutions affirm our commitment to racial justice and reconciliation. As a Conference, we have been engaged in this work, and we encourage faith communities to use this time to deepen their understanding and take tangible steps toward justice.

"All in God’s Image: A Celebration of Black History and Diversity" is a resource to help churches engage in meaningful conversations about race, history, and faith. This year, we are excited to introduce this resource to the West Ohio Conference and invite congregations to explore its impact.

Developed by Corinne R. Dunn, M.Ed., M.A., a Certified Diversity Professional, this curriculum is structured as a four-week Sunday school series designed for children in grades K-6. It offers engaging lessons, historical insights, and theological grounding to help young learners understand the importance of Black history in the Christian story.  The resource has also been transformed into Family guides which will be released each week of February to celebrate Black history.
