Brown said the church must build 1,481 new churches by 1961 to match population shifts, noting 40,321 churches and 9,089,943 members. He outlined goals to strengthen churches, expand school enrollment, and support Negro congregations. The women’s division announced plans to enroll 1,000,000 new members in 1964.
