December 8, 2016

In this training video from Exponential East 2016, multi-ethnic church planter Ron Dotzler explores how to move from thinking about diversity to making diversity a reality. Sharing his own experiences of planting multi-ethnic churches and the challenges to a multi-ethnic marriage, Dotzler offers practical steps to help you place greater emphasis on diversity both in your church and your relationships.

Key Highlights About Diversity:

  • Why diversity must be a value to become a reality in your life and church
  • Why the value of diversity must be lived out and expressed
  • Communicating the need for diversity in your church
  • Building a church culture that attracts diversity
