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.
Upcoming
2010 Journey to Mosaic trips are:
February
25-28, July 15-18, and October 7-10. Registration

Invitation to Racial Righteousness:
The focus is on learning that leads to personal change in
the area of racial reconciliation and justice. Our hope is
that the Evangelical Covenant Church would become a truer
reflection of the Kingdom of Christ in all its beautiful diversity.
