Some of the folks are from Christ the Solid Rock Baptist Church – a predominantly African-America congregation. Others are from Lake Edge Lutheran – a very white congregation. There are a smattering of people from an Episcopal congregation, a United Church of Christ congregation, other points on the Christian denominational spectrum.
Guiding the group is Rev. Everett Mitchell, pastor of Christ the Solid Rock (and a Dane County judge). This group has grown from something he began at Lake Edge in 2008 as a law student after teaching a Sunday school series on Black Theology and Black Power to this vibrant multidenominational weekly exploration of the books in the Bible.
