Overview

Pastor Derwin Gray presents God’s theological vision for a multiethnic church. Why do we need Gospel-shaped, multiethnic churches? Because they fulfill God’s eternal purpose realized in Christ Jesus. Multiethnic churches are God’s fulfillment to his covenant with Abraham. God’s multiethnic church is a theological vision with beautiful sociological implications. They are a sign and foretaste of God’s kingdom on earth by being communities of reconciliation, justice, mission, and love through God the Holy Spirit’s transformative work.

Join Dr. Gray as he introduces God’s vision for Gospel-shaped, multiethnic churches. This course will demonstrate how the gospel creates the church that is the multiethnic community of grace. Topics include best practices on building a multiethnic church, developing cross-cultural competency, understanding a racialized society, and discipleship and leadership development.

About Derwin Gray

Dr. Derwin Gray is adjunct professor at Northern Seminary and the founding and lead pastor of Transformation Church, a multiethnic, multigenerational, mission-shaped community near Charlotte, NC.

Derwin met his wife, Vicki, at Brigham Young University. They have been married since 1992 and have two children. After graduating from Brigham Young University, Derwin played professional football in the NFL for five years with the Indianapolis Colts (1993-1997) and one year with the Carolina Panthers (1998). During that time, he and Vicki began their journey with Christ and experienced God’s faithfulness and direction as He moved their hearts to know Him and make Him known. Following God’s call on their lives and their desire to shepherd people towards transforming their world through the mission of Christ, the Lord transitioned Derwin from his primary role of itinerant speaker to serving as the Lead Pastor of Transformation Church in January of 2010. Coupling his dynamic speaking style with a shepherd’s heart, his intense passion for seeing lives and culture transformed is both contagious and inspiring.
