Cross Culture Podcast

At the Collective we believe in church planting! Reaching more people with the Whole Gospel through new works is essential. But we also believe in a particular type of church plant, led by a particular type of leader. In this episode we break down the why behind our desires for minority leaders to be a larger voice in the multiethnic church planting movement.  ____We want to hear your comments and questions!

Today, we're taking a step back and discussing the foundation of the work.
