11. Church Planting Series: Church Diversity - Novelty to Necessity with Rechab Gray

Fielder Church Podcast

Is diversity seen as a demographic novelty or theological necessity in your church?

Rechab Gray, church planting pastor of New Creation Fellowship, talks about multi-ethnic church planting, multi-cultural church planting, how our culture influences our theology, what advice he was given as he plants this church, and struggles and advantages of plating a diverse church.

Quotes:

7:13 - "Multiethnic church planting isn't a strategy, it's our theology"

8:50 - "Christ and His redemptive work make every culture more fully what it was meant to be in the first place."

28:32 - "To see how this culture, when redeemed, is showing an aspect of the glory of God that your culture doesn't and vice versa and how much we need each other."
