The Multicultural Church Directory
A multicultural congregation or ministry is one that intentionally recognizes, celebrates and incorporates the gifts of a diverse membership:
- In worship (utilizing languages, art and diverse theological expressions).
- In leadership and ministry (power sharing in session, church committees and decision-making processes).
- In evangelism (providing the good news in a cup that people recognize with great appreciation and sensitivity to their cultural and traditional backgrounds).
If your church engages in any of the above ministries, we would love to hear from you. Please help us tell your story as we work to locate the vital multicultural congregations in the PC(USA). [Read more]
