      Leading a church into America’s multiethnic future is sacred—but it’s not easy. Many leaders deeply desire unity, but feel blocked by real barriers. In this interactive pre-conference workshop, we’ll unpack these barriers and introduce some practical next steps. Whether your church is homogeneous or multiethnic, this session will help you disciple your people, staff, and yourself through cultural complexity with clarity, courage, and Christ-centered confidence.
