Who they are
Caribbean people encompass communities with roots in the islands of the English-speaking Caribbean, now living both in their homelands and in urban centers across North America. Shaped by a legacy of resistance, vibrant cultural expression, and deep family ties, they share a rich heritage that brings together musical rhythms, cuisine, and a living tradition of storytelling and literature.

How they live
Community life is strongly structured around kinship networks and local churches. Many work in commerce, essential services, and education. Cuisine featuring fish, seasoned rice, and spices, along with festivals filled with music, reflects the value placed on spending time together and collectively celebrating everyday life.
What they believe
Most profess the Christian faith, belonging to historic Protestant, Pentecostal, and Anglican traditions. Faith is lived out with warmth and active participation, with a strong emphasis on congregational worship. At the same time, cultural and spiritual influences inherited from colonial history persist and sometimes blend into daily religious practice.

Needs
Economic challenges and the tensions involved in adapting to major urban centers affect families. There is a lack of ministries focused on mental health and counseling for young people. The greatest spiritual need is for deeper discipleship, turning formal religious affiliation into a living witness.
