Data were collected on 373 participants meeting eligibility criteria (self-identification as black, age \u226518 years, self-reported diagnosis of hypertension, and uncontrolled BP [BP \u2265140\/90 or \u2265130\/80 mm Hg with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease]) from 32 New York City churches. The MINT-TLC intervention plus motivational interviewing treatment comprised 11 weekly group sessions on TLC plus 3 MINT sessions delivered monthly by lay health advisors. The HE control group received 1 TLC session plus 10 sessions on health topics delivered by local experts. The outcomes were BP reduction at 6 months (primary) and BP control and BP reduction at 9 months (secondary). The sample mean age was 63 years; 76% women, with mean BP of 153\/87 mm Hg. Using linear mixed-effects regression models, the MINT-TLC intervention plus motivational interviewing group had a significantly greater systolic BP reduction of 5.79 mm Hg compared with the HE group at 6 months (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.029). The treatment effect on systolic BP persisted at 9 months but had reduced significance (5.21 mm Hg;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.068). The between-group differences in diastolic BP reduction (0.41 mm Hg) and mean arterial pressure (2.24 mm Hg) at 6 months were not significant. Although the MINT-TLC intervention plus motivational interviewing group had greater BP control than the HE group at 9 months, the difference was not statistically significant (57.0% versus 48.8%; odds ratio, 1.43; 95% CI, 0.90\u20132.28).\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A community-based lifestyle intervention delivered in churches led to significantly greater reduction in systolic BP in hypertensive blacks compared with HE alone.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Clinical Trial Registration:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              URL:\n              <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicaltrials.gov\">https:\/\/www.clinicaltrials.gov<\/jats:ext-link>\n              .
