Cross Culture Podcast

Let's Be Clear

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

At the Collective we believe in church planting! Reaching more people with the Whole Gospel through new works is essential. But we also believe in a particular type of church plant, led by a particular type of leader. In this episode we break down the why behind our desires for minority leaders to be a larger voice in the multiethnic church planting movement.
