The purpose of this study was to explore how pastors proclaim the kingdom of God is at hand to congregations living in pluralistic societies. Not only is there ongoing confusion about the concept of the kingdom of God, but pastors also proclaim the gospel of the kingdom of God in a culture awash in pluralism. Using a basic qualitative research design, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with multiple pastors experienced in preaching the kingdom of God. The interviews focused on gaining data with four research questions: 1) how do pastors describe the kingdom of God is at hand, 2) what challenges do pastors face, 3) what strategies do pastors use, and 4) what outcomes do pastors desire when proclaiming the kingdom of God is at hand to congregations living in pluralistic societies? The literature review focused on three key areas to gain a broader understanding proclaiming the kingdom of God is at hand in a pluralistic society: the meaning of Jesus’s proclamation in Mark 1:15, the relationship between the church and the kingdom of God, and the practices of preachers who proclaim the gospel of the kingdom in a pluralistic society. This study concluded that greater clarity is needed for pastors who proclaim the kingdom of God is at hand in pluralistic societies. To provide this clarity, this study identified several key components and practices for pastors, including, defining the kingdom of God in the abstract, regularly preaching the kingship of Jesus, humbly addressing kingdom misunderstandings, helping people imagine the kingdom, remembering repentance, and desperate dependence on the Holy Spirit.
