The Movement Is Homecoming.

The Movement Is Homecoming.

a people on a mission

The mission field in America has long told a single story - but that narrative is incomplete. Did you know the first missionary in America was actually a Black man who went to Jamaica? This powerful piece of history reveals how much of the missions story has been overlooked or forgotten.

The Homecoming Co. exists to reclaim and rewrite that narrative. We're building a movement where missions aren't about charity or fixing, but about coming home - to authentic relationships, mutual transformation, and the profound lessons that emerge when communities truly serve one another.

Founded on partnerships in Jamaica through the Fergus Simpson Foundation's work in Chapelton, The Homecoming Co. creates space where African American experiences are centered, where Caribbean wisdom is honored, and where missions become about mutual transformation rather than one-way service.

A Movement Beyond Borders and Programs

While our transformative trips to Jamaica and local communities are vital expressions of our mission, The Homecoming Co. is much more than travel. We work to:

  • Empower local leaders to address challenges within their own communities with culturally relevant tools and resources.

  • Foster partnerships among churches, HBCUs, nonprofits, and businesses that share a vision for justice and equity.

  • Create sustainable social enterprises, like our Homecoming Collection and Coffee, that fund missions and build economic opportunities.

  • Provide spiritual formation and leadership development that nurtures a new generation called to serve with purpose and power.

This holistic approach ensures that impact isn’t temporary or isolated; it’s ongoing, systemic, and community-driven.
