CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Donald Trump is slated make yet another trip to Cleveland, and is scheduled to film a "town hall" style event on Wednesday with Fox News personality Sean Hannity at the Cleveland Heights church of a local pastor who has been a visible Trump supporter.

The website for the New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, 3130 Mayfield Road, advertises a "Midwest Values and Vision Pastors Leadership Conference" with Trump, hosted by the church's pastor, Rev. Darrell Scott, that will begin at 9 a.m. on Sept. 21. Scott has not returned a message, but he told WKYC's Tom Beres that Trump "will meet with a large statewide group of pastors from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m."

The website also advertises a "town hall meeting on African-American concerns" that is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. A Fox News spokeswoman said the meeting will air on Hannity's 10 p.m. show on Wednesday night. While she said the town hall meeting will be closed to other media, the spokeswoman did not immediately know whether members of the general public could attend. Officials with the Trump campaign declined to share additional details about the event.

A flier on the church's website also advertises the presence of Michael Cohen, an attorney for the Trump Organization who has made occasional media appearances on Trump's behalf during this year's presidential campaign. Trump also is scheduled to hold a rally in Toledo on Wednesday at 1 p.m., according to his campaign website.

Scott, who founded the New Spirit Revival Center in 1994, serves as the CEO of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, an entity that is affiliated with the Trump campaign. Scott spoke on Trump's behalf at the Republican National Convention here in July, and previously has served as a liaison between the Trump campaign and other black ministers.

A message left for Scott at his church was not immediately returned. But he had not been a prominent figure within the local community of politically involved black clergy before his association with Trump raised his profile.

Rev. Jawanza Colvin, a prominent Cleveland minister whose Olivet Institutional Baptist Church hosted Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in separate public forums last March -- and unsuccessfully invited Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to appear -- said he does not know which clergy might be attending the meeting with Trump on Wednesday. He said even if he were invited, he would not go, and he criticized Trump for his "divisive" campaign.

"I will be interested to know who attends," he said. "At this point, I think he [Trump] has made himself very clear about where is, what he stands for and whom he'll be standing with," Colvin said.

Trump has made almost weekly appearances in Northeast Ohio over the past month, and last appeared in Cleveland on Sept. 8, when he gave a policy speech promoting an expansion of "school choice" at a charter school in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. The appearance was part of an ongoing effort by Trump to try to salvage his image with minority voters. Like other Republicans before him, he has argued that urban minorities have been let down by Democratic policies and has presented himself as an alternative.

Some have argued that Trump's minority-outreach efforts are really meant to assure white voters who have been turned off by racially divisive statements Trump has made during his campaign -- such as saying a federal judge hearing a fraud case involving Trump University is biased against him because of his Mexican heritage -- that he is not racist.

Trump's outreach efforts have not always gone smoothly. At an appearance at a predominantly African-American church in Flint, Michigan last week, the church's pastor interrupted Trump after Trump began to criticize Hillary Clinton, and several people there began to heckle him, according to The Associated Press. Trump later referred to the church's minister as "a nervous mess."
