The Rev. Dr. Douglas Sands has created Doug Sands Ministries to promote the ministry of Jesus Christ to share love, achieve justice, and secure the blessings of prosperity for those in need. There are four parts to his ministry. Each ministry holds great promise that Christ will be glorified, that lives will be changed, and that society will be improved. These four ministries are the Nonviolent Disciples of Jesus Christ, Volunteers In Christian Evangelism (V.I.C.E.), Institute On Racism In The Church, and Crossover Priests Crusade.

The Rev. Dr. Douglas Sands’ vision is to reconnect the church community with the business community. "I want the church to understand that they have a brighter future with the entrepreneurial community. The bridging together with minority business people can make things healthier within the church community," says Rev. Sands. He has witnessed the outsourcing of many activities and projects done in churches even when the resources are in the congregation. "There are accountants, publishers, builders, and any other profession already in our communities," states Rev. Sands. Doug Sands Ministries has incorporated business ventures within each ministry. Here is a broad view of the vision and the mission of Rev. Dr. Douglas Sands:

1) Nonviolent Disciples of Jesus Christ - This ministry promotes love by turning back the rising tide of violence with the power of love. Their motto of "Love or Perish" attacks the violence of white supremacy racism, injustice, and self-hatred. Doug Sands Ministries has created bumper stickers as a business venture.

2) Volunteers In Christian Evangelism (V.I.C.E.) - This ministry promotes volunteering your time to help someone in need. The message is that everybody can help somebody. He has designed blue denim shirts to promote this business venture.

3) Institute On Racism In The Church - This ministry brings awareness to the leaven of privilege mixed with power. Rev. Sands’ self-published book, Insubordination, confronts the harsh realities of white supremacy racism in the church. A reprint of this book will be coming out in January 2005.

4) Crossover Priests Crusade - This ministry’s motto, "Save the Little Black Church," resonates to many small churches that have not grown or is on the brink of extinction. Rev. Sands is building a network through his many speaking engagements.
