MOSAIX is a relational network of local church pastors/planters, researchers, educators and ministry leaders, that exists to catalyze the growing movement toward multi-ethnic economically diverse churches. Founded in 2004 by Mark DeYmaz & George Yancey, the network relaunched in 2010 in cooperation with Erwin McManus and Mosaic Alliance. Healthy multi-ethnic and economically diverse churches must be established on sound theology for the sake of the Gospel. It's about reconciling men and women to God through faith in Christ and congregations to the principles and practices of New Testament inclusive churches. While authentic community within a multi-ethnic church cannot be measured by quantitative analysis alone, Mosaix promotes the goal of seeing 20% of local churches achieve 20% diversity by 2020. Establishing a healthy multi-ethnic church is not easy; you just can’t do it alone!
