ARE YOUR REACHING FOR THE STARS?

If you desire to foster more unity through diversity in your ministry than here are 5 intentional things you can do NOW to encourage more diversity to happen organically within your ministry:

  1. Be intentional above making your platform/ stage diverse (i.e. worship team, teaching, announcements).
  2. Be intentional above diversity within your leaders, staff, and elder board..
  3. Make sure all promotional material, bulletins, and weekly service programs reflect the diversity you desire within your ministry
  4. Fund scholarship opportunities (directly through a bible college or through the DOD scholarship fund).
  5. Host internships opportunities for prospective candidates that represents the diversity that we desire to have on our staff and in our congregation.

While this is just a start, it is a great start that, if done consistently over time, will help your ministry welcome and eventually reflect more diversity.
