Greater Joy Baptist Church, in conjunction with Word Tabernacle Church, the City of Rocky Mount Police Department, God in My City and the NAACP will host a G.A.N.G. (Guiding a Non-Violent Generation) Awareness Summit.
According to Bishop Shelton C. Daniel, senior pastor for Greater Joy Baptist Church, the summit will provide an opportunity for the Rocky Mount Police Department to give citizens information relative to gangs.
“We are trying to take systematic approaches to combat some of the violence going on in our city. The Rocky Mount Police Department will do a complete seminar as to what to look for in relation to gangs, and will provide some solutions to the problem,” says Daniel. “We are specifically targeting ages 6 to 10 because according to the statistical data, that’s the age group gang members are also targeting.”
Greater Joy Baptist Church is located at 322 Anderson Street in Rocky Mount, N.C. For more information on the summit, call 252-442-0958.
