LIVE EVENT
Date: Tuesday, June 3
Time: 1PM CT
In a world marked by cultural complexity and division, the Church has a unique opportunity—and responsibility—to lead with empathy, humility, and understanding.
This timely and thought-provoking panel will explore how churches can grow in cultural intelligence, creating spaces where people of all backgrounds feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered. Our panel of thought leaders and ministry practitioners will offer real-world insights into navigating cultural differences within faith communities, addressing blind spots, and moving beyond performative inclusion toward Spirit-led unity.
Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, seminary student, or someone committed to fostering a more just and gracious church, this conversation will equip you with practical tools and frameworks to lead with compassion, awareness, and grace in an increasingly diverse world.
Come ready to learn, reflect, and imagine new possibilities for your community.
Sponsored by: Seminary Now, Christianity Today, TenX10, and CCDA, and Asian American Christian Collaborative.
