On Sept. 18, a newly founded Morehouse College Bible study group, Brothers in Christ, joined Spelman College’s Sisters in Christ for a joint fellowship.
Brothers in Christ is co-directed by Darian Dees, a junior, and Donovan Logan, a senior. Both were inspired by the long-standing Bible study group at Spelman.
The weekly studies involve reading, breaking down and interpreting scripture with Dees and Logan facilitating as translators of the Word. The sessions also include open dialogue and collective prayer, with the directors often praying over the participants and their requests.
“The intention behind Brothers in Christ is to be a mobile hospital for mental health,” Dees said. “The vision for Brothers in Christ is to reshape that brotherhood — an ideology that brotherhood is founded upon love.”
The group is intended to serve as a safe space where Morehouse men can explore faith and build community, while grounding their brotherhood in love and spiritual growth.
“The people that are coming have a strong desire to get to know Christ deeper from a teaching standpoint,” Logan said. “Seeing young men and young women come to Bible studies … they’re choosing to seek the Lord, so it’s amazing.”
Since its launch, the group has grown from just a few members to more than 40 participants.
“For me, I’m not really trying to think about the growth of anything,” Logan said. “I’m trying to think about being obedient to the Lord’s voice when He’s called me to do it.”
Brothers in Christ meets every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the top of the Morehouse parking deck. They also join Sisters in Christ for additional joint sessions throughout the year.
