Statement of Purpose
As the scene in heaven reflects a diverse multitude around the throne of God (Revelation 7:9); as the Lord Jesus prayed for His kingdom come (Matthew 6:10); the department of Multi-Ethnic Programs seeks to build the Kingdom of God to be a reality in our midst, and from our midst to be advanced “on earth as it is in heaven.”
Core Values
Celebration
We believe that the redeemed community that makes up the Body of Christ is diverse by divine design. Therefore, we seek to affirm our differences and glorify the lord who created us. Cultural diversity manifested in worship styles, music, food, languages, instruction, outreach, the arts and methods of creative expression are to be celebrated in our midst daily.
Education
We believe that the fall has resulted in dividing humanity based on our differences. To educate one another across divisions is to engage on an ongoing process of healing our humanity. Hence, we seek to learn of one another and from one another. Our hope is that greater understanding brings healing, forgiveness and empowerment. We hope to speak from our hearts and receive in our hearts.
Transformation
We believe that to be like Christ and to build His Kingdom on earth requires a continuous paradigm shift.
