“7 Know then that it is ithose of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that
God would justify1 the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, l“In yo

the man of faith.”

Purpose

Assist the church by providing a unified Christ centered vision and mission for racial equality within
the church and within the communities we live. To create an inclusive environment that is maximizing
the value of all cultures across the church, valuing our diverse perspectives, experiences, knowledge
base and celebrating all cultural heritages.

mission

Internally and externally reinforce the church's commitment to attaining and maintaining an inclusive
culture by creating an atmosphere that promotes and fosters the development of diverse points of
view, while keeping in step with scripture. Facilitate information sharing and networking that results in
a sense of urgency, commitment, and action towards positive change and healing, while setting a
positive example for others.

goal

In our commitment to unity within the church, the All Nations Ministry will consolidate and
recommend actionable next steps toward attaining racial and social equality. These will consist of
various opportunities and ideas collected from the church body through a blind ballot mechanism,
prioritized and presented to the Church’s Ecclesiastical Leadership for determination and finalization
of planned action steps.
