Leadership from the Margins We are all challenged to change the ways our communities worship, live, and work together. Vision for Becoming an Intercultural Church When we affirm and welcome a variety of expressions of faith, it deepens our understanding of God and of each other. Ways of Becoming an Intercultural Church This is an exciting time of Spirit-led questioning, experimenting, and mutual learning.

Networks are based on interest, not geography, and provide opportunities for individuals and groups to connect around and collaborate on specific areas of ministry or mission. Biblical Background to Interculturalism Becoming an intercultural church moves us to the very beginning of our faith. Leadership Counts Knowing who our leaders are will help the church continue to live into its commitments to equity and diversity.
