On Becoming an Intentional Intercultural Church
As Canada continues to navigate what it means to be an increasingly multicultural country, the church has an opportunity to demonstrate how diverse ethnic groups can thrive together as a community of faith. Dr. Sam Owusu, Founder and Senior Pastor of Calvary Worship Centre, Surrey, BC leads one of North America’s most diverse intercultural churches made up of 120 different nationalities. Dr. Owusu will be sharing the Calvary Worship Centre’s story highlighting biblical and theological insights that God has used in the development of this congregation.
The session will be moderated by Dr. Charles Cook, Executive Director of the Jaffray Centre for Global Initiatives at Ambrose University. He is co-editor of Beyond Hospitality, Beyond Multiculturalism and Beyond Culture, a series of books designed to encourage and resources the intercultural church in Canada.
If you are interested in interacting with Dr. Owusu or exploring how your congregation might become more intentionally intercultural. Join us for this intriguing conversation.
