Pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, Illinois
RCCongress 2010:
Plenary Speaker on Moving in Faith
Rev. Otis Moss, III is Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, the
largest church in the denomination, with 8,000 members. He received
his B.A. in Religion and Philosophy from Morehouse College, and
graduated from Yale with a Master of Divinity degree with a
concentration in Ethics and Theology.
He has been Chaplain of the week at Chautauqua Institution,
Chautauqua, NY and has served as a guest lecturer for the
Interdenominational Theological Center, Emory University,
Presbyterian College, Paine College, Dillard University, Howard
University, Yale University, Harvard University, and Morehouse
College. His passion for youth and intergenerational ministry has led
him to create the Issachar Movement, a consulting group designed to
bridge the generation gap within churches and to train a new
generation of prophetic church leadership.
Rev. Moss has done extensive research in the areas of
African-American culture, theology, and youth development. He is the
author of Redemption in a Red Light District, and his essays,
articles, and poetry have appeared in Sojourners Magazine, The Urban
Spectrum, and The African American Pulpit Journal, which, along with
BeliefNet, recently named Reverend Moss as one of the "Twenty to
Watch" ministers who will shape the future of the African American Church.
Rev. Moss has an extensive background in television with frequent
appearances on "Day 1 Diner," "New Morning," and "New Morning with
Naomi Judd" (Hallmark Channel), and as regular guest on "30 Good
Minutes" (PBS Chicago). His sermon "By Any Means Necessary" is
available at the Chicago Sunday Evening Club web site in print,
audio, and video formats.
