MULTICULTURAL VITALITY

Multicultural Vitality

Multicultural vitality is the area in which churches identify, engage, and embrace culture differences that are ethnic, socioeconomic, political, global, and generational, whether internally or externally.  Multicultural vitality is the intersection of people working with other people.  We understand that the church is a culture apart from the neighborhood we live and we seek to become more relevant to the neighborhood in which we live.

Vital Congregations engage in multicultural ministry by:

• Objectively reflecting on how well the congregation loves ALL
• Being willing to implement changes so that the congregation can better love ALL
• Viewing the community as equals and partners
• Centering on a shared mission, vision, and Incarnational calling
• Developing individuals’ skills and expertise to love others and engage the neighborhood
• Having open and intentional conversation about people different than us

Event - Resisting Racism

RESISTING RACISM is an enriching and challenging event for Lay and Clergy who seek to find ways to implement the totality of Jesus' message and ministry

this workshop seeks to provide opportunities for participants to deepen their own knowledge (mindset), motivation (heart set), and capabilities (skillset) for resisting racism. Specific strategies for taking what is learned back to a local context will be included as well.
