City to City Europe

Building a Diverse Church Community

Breakout Session
14:00 - 15:00
, November 18
November 18

Our cities are populated with people from all kind of ethnicities, ages, people with different levels of education and prosperity. Is it possible to build a strong church community in which all these people are represented and that influences society in a positive way? During this breakout session we’ll find out the features that are needed to be church in that way. We’re longing for kingdom-shaped churches that are present in an holistic way, implementing missionary and deaconal activities as two sides of the same coin.
