Stay Curious:

The Future of Race Relations

Watch the above video from Pastor Vernon Gordon, The Life Church, and Pastor Brian Hughes, Passion Community Church (PCC), as they talk about sharing their story during the "Stay Curious: The Future of Race Relations" breakout session on Tuesday, November 10, at 9:30 a.m., during this year's BGAV Annual Meeting.

Their story will inspire you and your church to explore some next steps you can take toward addressing the complex issue of race relations. Register for this "can't-miss" breakout session.

To learn more about this topic today, read this article containing excerpts that occurred during videotaped conversations between Pastor Gordon and Pastor Hughes. It offers a glimpse of their journey of learning about the complexities of race and culture together while helping their congregations understand God’s perspective, so they can do something about it.
