Church - multigenerational and multiethnic

The good news of the forgiveness of sins through Jesus is for all people. It means that the people he is bringing together come from many different backgrounds and ages. At a local level this is also often true. A local church will reflect the demographics of the local area.

For example, a church in an area popular with retirees will often have many retirees in it. My brother David and his family went to a great church in an area like this in Bournemouth in the UK, Christchurch Westbourne. Other churches are in much more mixed areas. A church like Evergreen Baptist church in Los Angeles welcomes people from many different backgrounds, both racial and generational.

Our church is in an area more like Los Angeles than Bournemouth. It means that as Christ saves and transforms people in our area we can expect people (and want people!) to join us from a huge variety of backgrounds.
