About
BMA Tenpoint (formerly The Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston and The Boston Tenpoint Coalition). BMA TenPoint is a non-profit organization, working together with churches, ministries, and organizations to engage our communities!
The Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston, Inc., (BMA) was founded during the 1960’s civil rights movement to help clergy address the racial, social, and economic injustices facing our communities. In response to growing youth violence, the Boston TenPoint Coalition, Inc. (BTPC) was founded to “promote and campaign for a cultural shift to help reduce youth violence, both physically and verbally, within the black community by initiating conversations, introspection, and reflection on the thoughts and actions that hold us back as a people, individually and collectively.”
In 2020, BMA and BTPC merged to create BMA TenPoint, Inc. to address the broader spectrum of issues negatively affecting youth and families in Boston’s Black Urban communities. To this end, BMA TenPoint’s current mission is to "to build the capacity of Black churches and ministry leaders to support the empowerment of our youth and families and strengthen the Health and well-being of their surrounding communities."
Following this mission, BMA TenPoint has become an inclusive alliance of churches, faith and community-based organizations reaching around 20,000 ethnically-diverse parishioners and clients in Greater Boston.
