“You are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints, and also members of the household of God.” Eph 2:19-20

Join Pittsburgh Theological Seminary Sept. 22-23, 2015, for "Members of God's Household: Planting Churches in Multicultural Contexts" sponsored by the Church Planting Initiative.

In the Apostle Paul’s vision, the Church is a unified body of Jews and Gentiles. We’re a people among whom Christ has "broken down the dividing wall of hostility,” reconciling differing ethnic groups and cultures. Now, just as in the first century, church-plants and new worshiping communities are called to bear witness to Christ’s destruction of our divisions and his establishment of a new family. But in a social context where racism and racial injustice are endemic, how do we plant churches that bear witness to the reconciling love of Jesus Christ? Join us to hear responses from faithful and experienced leaders of multicultural church communities.

Speakers

Jin Kim, Pastor of Church of All Nations and founder of Underground Seminary

James Lee, Pastor of New Covenant Fellowship
