Abstract

The command of our Lord is to go out into all the world to teach, to baptize, and to make disciples of all nations. The community of faith was by God's design to be an inclusive community. The growing ethnic diversity in our society today presents a challenge to the local congregation to be intentional in its ministry to incorporate people of diverse cultural and racial experiences into its fellowship. A congregation to be successful in building an inclusive ministry must first begin to value diversity as a gift of God. The local congregation can begin to appreciate the ethnic diversity of its members as a gift of God through Bible study, small group sharing, and sermons. The project designed in this paper is an example of how a congregation can develop an appreciation for an inclusive ministry.
