BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Dr. Michael Cadore and Moses Harvin Sr. former Board of Trustees member at Eastern Florida State College talked with Space Coast Daily’s Giles Malone about a tremendous upcoming event for the youth, the ‘Summit of Seven Boys and Men Conference.’
Eastern Florida State College will host the upcoming Summit of Seven Boys and Men Conference with about 1,000 people expected for an event that provides mentors and role models for youth.
The 28th annual conference will be held June 10-11 on the college’s Melbourne campus, and end with a June 9 service at Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in Palm Bay.
The summit is the largest gathering of its kind in Brevard County and among the largest in Central Florida.

It features motivational speakers and workshops on subjects such as education, law enforcement, personal ethics and teamwork.
In the mid 1980’s the men of Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church organized, planned and executed programs to enhance professional and personal relationships among males.
The men organized a barbeque for the men and boys within the community to break down walls between the young and the young-at-heart.
This was a valiant attempt to foster a long-lasting and indestructible bond between the adult males, teenagers and young boys of our community.
This event was organized by the men of Mt. Moriah under the leadership of Dr. Harvey L. Riley.
Therewith, the summer BBQ became an annual event held under a majestic oak tree.
Lending a helping hand to every person regardless of race or gender was the trademark.
Mr. Earl Gordon, Deacons Damon Hardison, and Willie Mapp were three of the pioneers who organized this event.
In 1993, the Summit of Seven emerged as a transformation of the annual barbeque into an incredible conference & workshop organized by Deacon Moses L. Harvin.
This event drew over 200 participants in its first year of operation.
Each male was challenged to bring seven other males with him to the Summit, hence the name “Summit of Seven”.
Spiritually, seven means completeness.
