About Me

4200 Roosevelt Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19124
The Rev. Michael Couch has been preaching the “Good News” of Jesus Christ for more than 15 years. His commitment to building the family and building the Church through evangelism is guided by one burning thought: “Fight the Good Fight of Faith.” To this end, he has fought against the privatization of public schools, and against river boat and casino gambling. He has fought for stronger gun control legislation, fought for reform in criminal sentencing, and he has fought for a citywide AIDS awareness project. Yet one of his greatest fights for the family has been his work in housing. Realizing the wealth-building importance of owning a home and the many obstacles that stand in the way, Rev. Couch became the founding president of Christian Credit Development, a credit repair and mortgage brokerage service that, to date, has secured homes for more than 700 families.

What is the motivation for action?


· Every 1 in 3 African Americans was not registered to vote in 2008[1]

· In 2010, as in 2008, young African Americans led the way in youth voter turnout. Young African Americans voted at a rate of 27.5% compared to 24.9% of young whites, 17.6% of young Latinos and 17.7% of young Asian Americans[2].

· An estimated 2 million African American are ineligible to vote because of state laws regarding formerly incarcerated persons (felons)[3]

… we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus …” 2 Corinthians 4:7-9; 13a (NKJV)
