Abstract
Throughout societal transformations and trends, adult education has been available, providing relevant and personal learning needs for adult learners. Such has been the case in urban communities. However, our urban communities have experienced a transformation of sorts. Once thriving with numerous businesses and churches, they no longer enjoy the advantages they once had. Despite transitions in urban centers, the African American church has remained a stronghold. Historically, the church has provided education in some form. In the face of continuous decay of some urban communities, it appears the church’s future adult educational role will not only continue but be enhanced for several reasons.
