Escape Perceived as Youth Drain at Colp AME Church
Rev. Alvin Moore notes Colp AME Church faces dwindling youth support and aging congregants, with only 20 to 40 attendees from a 64-member roll. He urges stronger community fellowship, ecumenical ties, and youth involvement as the church seeks to be a local focal point. Five churches exist in Colp, lacking ministerial unity, while Hope Chapel AME hosted interracial services and youth programs operate at Head Start. Seven youths are employed at Colp Village Hall through a Neighborhood Youth Corps project.
