Creating a Multi-Ethnic Church

To create a multi-ethnic church, pastors should start by praying and reading the book of Ephesians together with their staff, circling references to different ethnicities. They should also consider the demographics of their community and ensure that their leadership reflects diversity. Hiring staff and leaders from different backgrounds helps create representation and fosters innovation. Pastors should also prioritize cross-cultural competency and seek to build relationships with people from different cultures. It's important to expect some resistance and loss of congregation members in the process, but staying faithful to the gospel and the mission of reconciliation is crucial.
