In a report by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research, results of the Cooperative Congregational Studies Partnership’s (CCSP) Faith Communities Today 2005 survey were released and determined that "while most congregations in America are composed of a single racial/ethnic group, those that are multi-racial are most likely to have experienced strong growth in worship attendance." David A. Roozen, director of the CCSP and professor of religion and society at Hartford Seminary said, "[The report] tests the continuing salience of long, 'taken for granted' principles of [church] growth...;" namely the continued effectiveness of the homogeneous unit principle in an increasingly diverse and cynical world!

In other words, the multi-ethnic church is favorably positioned for growth in the twenty-first century!

So...

• Do you want to your church to become healthy and multi-ethnic?
• Do you want to be relevant in an increasingly diverse society?
• Do you want to become increasingly credible in your presentation of God’s love for all people within a lost and dying world?
• Do you want others to look with favor on your efforts and make a difference in your community for the sake of Christ?

Your church needs to become multi-ethnic; and we can help!
