Multiethnic Ministries - Opportunities for Your Church

Effective ministry happens at the intersection of scripture and the context in which we are placed. A vital role of church leadership is to clearly define reality. One of these realties for PSWC churches is the profound role issues of multiethnicity and multiculturalism play in our setting where dramatic demographic shifts are occurring. We desire to be churches that reach and reflect our diverse communities, but we often struggle to actually realize this. The PSWC offers several avenues to address these challenges through immersion experiences for veteran leaders as well as emerging ones. These experiences urge us into the new reality that is unfolding from the powerful work of the gospel among us.

1. Journey to Mosaic (J2M): A four day experiential bus trip from Northern California to Southern California that pairs people up with somebody of a different ethnic background. It unpacks portions of the African-American, Asian-American, and Hispanic-American stories in California through tours, films, and partner/large group discussions.

j2m² is our premier 3-week immersion experience following a rhythm of biblical exploration, hands-on experiences, and challenging community life for young adults ages 18-25. The goal is to grow a wider and deeper kingdom worldview in emerging leaders.
