The average Christian may not fully understand why racial reconciliation is a gospel imperative. And the average pastor may not know how to pursue it. This group will consist of Biblically-based presentations from leaders who will shed light on what it takes to for gospel-centered relationships, issues of race, culture, and the gospel. Meetings will also be accompanied with panel discussions, table talks, additional reading materials, social media groups, free lunches and service experiences. If you're tired of racism?
