Armour Stephenson III lost his parents in a plane crash in 2005 and suddenly had to take over as pastor of Parkway Baptist Church. He wanted to create something new. So he set out to reconstruct the Black church experience and reach more people. He’s been successful in reestablishing the church as the City of Truth and has amassed tens of thousands of followers on social media, reaching people who may never have walked into a church. Stephenson (pastorad3) is one of four young Black leaders who shared their stories with The Star’s J.M. Banks as a way to take note of the figures who are looking to the future and pushing for change. Like a radical community journalist with kansascitydefender. A woman fighting for reparation, and a Gen Z crusader for LGBTQA rights (justicehorn). Together, they are examples of a new generation of Black leaders who are working toward building a stronger Black community.
