Born on the Island of Barbados, raised in Brooklyn, NY, Antoine R. Cummins currently serves Pacifica Synod as Assistant to the Bishop for Anti-Racism Coordination, PLTS on the Advisory Board and the ELCA on the Commission for a Renewed Lutheran Church.
Prior to this, Antoine has spent time in Higher Education, working in the office of Student life and Adjunct Math Professor, Licensed Tax Professional, High School Math Teacher and Football Coach. He has also spent 14 years serving the ELCA in various capacities including Director of Campus Ministry, Engagement Coordinator and Community Organizer. Most recently, his passion for Organizational Change and Design has led him into consulting for organizations serious about anti-racism, innovation, young adult engagement and discipleship.
Although his journey has been uncharted and filled with many life-giving opportunities, the one thing that keeps him inspired is how much healing can be found in community; when we approach each other with a posture of humility and walk away from our interactions with a sense of awe and wonder!
