what does a multiethnic church look like?
A healthy multiethnic church is one in which people of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds will themselves to:
Walk, work, and worship God together as one to advance a credible witness of God’s love for all people;
Recognize, renew, reconcile, and redeem broken relationships, both interpersonal and collective;
Establish equitable systems of responsible authority, leadership, governance, and accountability within the congregation;
Advocate and advance justice, mercy, and compassionate work in the community;
Embrace the tension of sound theological reflection and applicational relevance in an increasingly complex and intersectional society for the sake of the Gospel.

Curriculum
An 8-week journey toward unity in your church.
This powerful resource is a proven catalyst to help transform the minds, attitudes, and actions of people in your local church, and lead them to enthusiastically embrace one another in the midst of cultural change. Structured around eight weeks of daily readings and thought-provoking questions, this attractive and accessible workbook is a Christ-centered, biblically accurate guide that facilitates authentic personal exploration and small group discussion of race, class, and culture. As the centerpiece tool of the Mosaix Global Network, this book brings diverse people together beyond the distinctions of this world that so often and otherwise divide. It all begins with a conversation.
