Director of Multi-cultural Ministry

Purpose Statement:

The Multi-cultural Ministry works under and with Mennonite Church Canada Witness in building connections and identifying appropriate processes with the many congregations of Mennonite Church Canada that are newer and of less traditional ethnic/cultural origins to Mennontie Church Canada.

In the context of Canadian society, which has more and more become a microcosm of all of the world's ethnic, religious, linguistic and racial diversity, we seek to work towards integration of people groups within Mennonite congregations, and cooperation among people of different ethnic, social, national, political and religious backgrounds. By doing this we hope to promote peace and justice among all nations, inspire reconciliation and anti-racism, and foster unity among the diversity.

Our goal is to work together and participate in holistic witness to Jesus Christ in a broken world, reaching from across the street to around the world.
