About This Course
We live in a diverse world full of diverse people, languages, and cultures; yet our churches can fail to represent that well, if at all. This Approaches to Multicultural Worship Part I course material helps worship leaders see the holistic worship as a part of God’s call and vision for his people. It walks through different steps and stages needed to embrace a variety of cultures in your church community in a healthy, appropriate, and honoring way, while encouraging your congregation to embrace the changes in a manner and speed they can handle. This is the first of a two-part series, focused on the explanations and ideas of multicultural worship, while the second walks you through developing a plan to incorporate multicultural worship in your church and services.
