The Boston Church Social, Cultural, and Diversity team (SCUAD) is excited to bring you People of All Nations: a Christ-centered, biblically based unity in diversity training course. Our church eldership, staff, and regional SCUADs have already participated. And now this course is being offered 2 times a year.

This program will progress through three 2-hour sessions about how we can better achieve God’s dream of being a People of All Nations. Those who enroll in the program will watch video content on their own before they gather to discuss the materials in 2-hour large and small groups on three Saturdays in April/May. The videos consist of history, teaching, preaching, and moving testimonies from 60 different speakers from Boston and around the country. They are Bible-based, academic, spiritual, and heart moving. All materials are in English and Spanish.

God has blessed us with a multicultural, multiracial church with disciples from many different backgrounds and viewpoints. We encourage each of you to participate. You’ll grow in your understanding of how to better connect with people who have different stories than you. And you’ll learn how to process and navigate crucial, sensitive, and controversial topics of race and culture in a righteous way.

Registration opens March 12.

Everyone is invited to a celebration of life for Alan Roscoe on Saturday, March 25, 5–6:30pm, at the Arlington building (75 Pleasant St). There will be a private dinner immediately after, by invitation.
