Historically, many African Americans attended white churches due to limited access to their own places of worship, especially during the era of segregation. These churches often provided a semblance of community and spiritual connection, even as they faced systemic racism and exclusion. However, this dynamic also led to the establishment of independent Black churches, which became vital centers for spiritual growth, community organizing, and social justice. Over time, these churches played a crucial role in the Civil Rights Movement and continue to be significant in African American culture today.

During slavery, many African Americans sought spiritual guidance and community in white churches, but they often faced discrimination and exclusion from fully participating in services. As a result, they began to form their own congregations and denominations, where they could worship freely and express their beliefs without restrictions. These independent churches became vital centers for community support, cultural expression, and resistance against oppression. The establishment of these churches laid the foundation for a rich tradition of African American religious life that continues to thrive today.
