Black Church Consumer Index Survey Project (BCCIS)
The National Black Church Initiative's (NBCI) Black Church Consumer Index Survey (BCCIS) is an innovative tool to track and analyze up-to-date data covering our membership's interactions with the market place. BCCIS enables NBCI to better understand the behaviors and patterns corresponding to a wide array of products and issues across our 34,000 churches and 15.7 million members.Because of our defined geographical communities and the fact that the Church has such a commanding presence in the life and culture of African Americans the Church continues to play avital role in bringing every segment of the African American population together around key social issues. There are no demographics that the church is not able to organize, influence and create communities around specific issues, products and educational movements. This is why NBCI has moved with undue speed to technologically connect these segments of the population together with their churches, using the modern technology of websites, emails and social networking systems over the last five years.

BCNN1s Man of the Year selection recognizes people of faith who impact culture and society with their Christian worldview.
One of the most effective ways to influence culture is through the written word published on the largest communication medium in history -- the internet. Reverend Evans and these men and women have used the internet to speak out on important and controversial issues in 2012.
Reverend Evans has been recognized by Aetna Health Insurance company as an individual moving health and wellness messages to the forefront.

For 30 years, Aetna has celebrated African American history through the publication of its African American History Calendar.
This calendar celebrates remarkable individuals who have dedicated their lives to inspiring and empowering others to spend time taking care of their minds, bodies and spirit.
