Chicago

May 27-30, 2010

Pre-conferences May 26-27, 2010


The conference seeks to explore “growing the Christ’s church deep and wide” in an increasingly diverse world. The conference is a place of differences. People with varying languages, cultures, ethnicities, theologies, genders, generations and backgrounds will come together to recognize the amazing potential of differences and, through affirming and celebrating those differences, create something new.

Come and wade in the H₂O, that is the 2010 11th National Multicultural Church Conference and be nourished, sustained and reborn.
