Black / African American Ministry
Within God’s multicultural vision for our whole church, we cherish the opportunity to come together specifically as people in the Black / African American community at Blackhawk Church. Our mission is to build a thriving Black / African American community that follows Christ, fosters cross-cultural relationships for God’s Kingdom, and deeply impacts Dane County with Jesus’ love. We celebrate our shared stories, foods, traditions, values, music, and a sense of home that we sometimes crave while living within our city’s majority culture. We recharge spiritually, support one another, and celebrate what God is doing.

Gospel Fusion Venue
Gospel Fusion at Brader Way is a space where we intentionally follow God into multicultural community. This is expressed through fusing Gospel music with contemporary Christian music styles and exploring cultural expressions of prayer and community. Together, this creates opportunities for cross-cultural learning and experiences, drawing us closer to Christ and one another.
Our Story
The Black / African American Ministry at Blackhawk (BAAM) began through the collaboration of two churches in Madison: Zion City and Blackhawk. During the 2017 Reach campaign, Blackhawk sought to come alongside churches doing great ministry in neighborhoods that Blackhawk was not reaching at the time. This deepened our churches’ collaboration. Eventually, Zion City saw such a shared vision with Blackhawk and asked to become a part of it. This marked the birth of the Black / African American Ministry and a great step forward in Blackhawk’s growth as a multicultural church.
