The Network is intentionally growing as a community committed to diversity. When you attend the Extravaganzaor engage in one of the ministries offered by our Network, we hope you will experience a broad spectrum of leaders from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Our Multicultural Initiative has helped us grow our Network and has blessed us with extraordinary leaders who have gone on to speak and share music during our annual "Extravaganza" General Sessions, and to offer workshops to peers, provide content for our Network publications and podcasts, and offer their leadership in planning and implementing our events.
Multicultural Initiative at the Extravaganza
Friday, January 30; 9am-4pm
Multicultural Initiative - MCI - is a pre-conference leadership gathering for leaders of color leading children, youth and family ministry in congregations. This community is created to support leaders in this important work of the church. The Multicultural Initiative is an effort to strengthen our grassroots network by increasing our diversity.
This pre-Extravaganza add-on is $75/person and includes breakfast and lunch on Friday.
While all leaders of color are invited to register and participate in this Friday-only pre-conference, the Network is committed to strengthening and increasing its diversity through the Multicultural Initiative and offers scholarships for 12 returning participants and 12 brand new participants a scholarship to participate in both the MCI and Extravaganza. We ask interested participants to go through an application process.
Applications are open through the summer and into the fall. Consider applying today.
