The National Museum of African American History and Culture is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture.

Faith & Fitness Ministry is a non-profit program that promotes Faith, Fitness, and Fellowship throughout the community. The program is an exercise workout designed to strengthen and tone muscles and joints. The program begins in a prayer circle, participants bringing prayer concerns to the circle. The instructor reads a short devo and a 45 minute workout follows with Christian music. A free-will offering is suggested, ($1.00), but not mandatory which is given back to the community to meet the needs of God’s people. The instructor and participants discuss where the money is donated as needs are brought to the program.

Love your body: living your best healthy life
Love your soul: valuing and accepting yourself
Love others: being kind, accepting, and contributing to the community
Love to learn and grow: taking risks, facing challenges, and being a lifelong learner
Love life: celebrating and enjoying each day
Girls Loving Life is made possible through a generous grant from the Allstate Foundation and in partnership with the UTZ Women’s Mentoring Group
“Teaching the girls of today to be the leaders of tomorrow.”
