Diversity-Oriented Churches *

At a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are challenging the status quo, Diversity-Oriented Churches explore the characteristics of a growing movement of churches in America. The book surveys the journey churches must take toward becoming truly diverse. With a strong biblical foundation, this text is divided into chapters that address leadership practices, organizational strategy, and community engagement.

The book examines how Diversity-Oriented Churches develop. Key elements include:

  • clear biblical mandate,

  • culturally competent leadership,

  • organizational and community strategy,

  • conflict resolution policies,

  • intergenerational leadership development.

In this book, I offer guidance for leaders and churches to embrace becoming ministries of reconciliation, drawing upon current research and my experience as a church planter, pastor, and organizational and leadership development consultant to churches and nonprofit organizations.

I am a staunch advocate for human rights and building bridges between people. I am committed to fostering unity, justice, and inclusion. I value the dignity of every person, believing that true reconciliation requires deep listening, humility, and a commitment to equity.

I prioritize bridge-building across divides, equipping leaders to navigate complex challenges with wisdom and grace. Integrity, compassion, and collaboration guide my work as I cultivate communities that reflect the Kingdom of God.
