OUR MISSION
To enable the Church to embody the Shalom of God by practicing IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-racism) so that God’s kingdom is experienced and expanded on Earth.
WHY WE’RE HERE
RECOGNIZING INJUSTICE IN OUR WORLD TODAY
Churches today do not reflect the diversity of their surrounding community
Practicing IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-racism) for all people is what the Great Commission is all about
IDEA ministry builds vital ministry, inclusive of all God’s people
THE WORK AHEAD
calling for change
Open hearts by increasing awareness of the diversity and cultural differences as gifts to embrace.
Broaden minds by increasing our own understanding of varied cultural dimensions.
Sharpen skills by equipping and providing tools to connect and build relationship with people from diverse cultures.
Redesign communities by fostering an environment where people of diverse cultures and backgrounds can worship together and minister to each other more easily and effectively.
