The global Church is divinely called to multicultural worship as a foretaste of heaven and a prophetic voice to the nations. This seminar will provide a biblical platform for authentic, diverse worship with Urbana 22 Worship Team members sharing examples from their own personal experiences. During this seminar, you’ll be encouraged, equipped, and inspired to pursue diverse worship, contextualizing and incorporating it into your congregations, chapters, etc., regardless of location, demographics, size, or socioeconomic status.
