Otis Moss III (born 16 September 1970[2]) is the pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.
[6] After hearing his call to the ministry during track practice, he changed majors to religion and philosophy and graduated with honors in 1992.
[6] A sermon tape from a youth rally was given to the retiring pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia, leading to his call there.
He also served on the boards of the local United Way chapter and Augusta's black history museum, which is named after Lucy Craft Laney.
[14][15] Early in 2007, Moss was one of four additional contributors to the book The Gospel Remix: Reaching the Hip Hop Generation by Professor Ralph C. Watkins of the Fuller Theological Seminary.
[16] That summer, Moss was one of several black ministers who gave eulogies at a mock funeral the NAACP put on for the word "nigger", where he described it as "the greatest child that racism ever birthed".
