<strong>What</strong> <strong>Are</strong> <strong>Multicultural</strong> <strong>Churches</strong>?<br />

The church is a sign of the kingdom of God, and it shows the way to<br />

reach the God. An agent to God, it shows the world and shares the love<br />

of Jesus to the broken and hurting world. As a sign, it points to the<br />

kingdom of God. <strong>Multicultural</strong> church in Dallas Tx are making steps<br />

<strong>Multicultural</strong> <strong>Churches</strong><br />

While pursuing diversity is a good thing, but you must understand what<br />

it means. In a multiethnic church, persons from different background<br />

attend the church. <strong>Multicultural</strong> ministries are good, but being<br />

multicultural is much harder than simply being multiethnic. If the


people from various ethnic groups are listening to the same music, do<br />

various other similar things that are not multicultural although they<br />

may have assimilated to the common culture. <strong>Multicultural</strong> ministries<br />

are good and worth pursuing.<br />

Steps Towards A <strong>Multicultural</strong> Church<br />

The churches those who want to be multicultural have to start simple.<br />

They must try to start knowing at least one group in the community.<br />

Try to be in someone else’s shoes, imagine a black person coming to<br />

your white church. Will you like to join a predominately African-<br />

American church? A multicultural church grows rather slowly than a<br />

mono-cultural church. It takes a while to develop transparency and<br />

trust.


<strong>Multicultural</strong> Ministry Isn’t Easy<br />

A multicultural church is not simply about skin tone, but also about the<br />

intentional and effective engagement of the cultures. And it’s not easy<br />

to achieve. Here are the three ways to be in prayer about engaging in<br />

multicultural ministry.<br />

Pray For Patience<br />

At times doing multicultural ministry can be frustrating. Pray to<br />

the lord to give the patience to love others that live and work<br />

differently than you.<br />

Pray For Wisdom<br />

Sometimes a variety of cultures can be quite challenging, so ask<br />

God to give the wisdom to juggle the diversity.<br />
