Summary
Diversity is a high value for younger generations—but too often, they’re not finding it in the church.

Critics Review
“Times-a-changing!—’Ole time religion’ or old ways of doing church are no longer sufficient. Dan Kreiss and Efrem Smith are keen to note the need for faith that brings people together. This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about building unifying communities of faith more than divisive institutions of faith.”
– Antipas L. Harris, founder, president, and dean of the Urban Renewal Center in Norfolk, Virginia, and author of Is Christianity the White Man’s Religion?“Here is just the book for our present moment: an enlivening vision of a church that nourishes life in its fullness, fosters true relationships between diverse people, and brings us closer to the God who loves us all. May we hear and heed this call to hope.”
– Karen Wright Marsh, author of Vintage Saints and Sinners: 25 Christians Who Transformed My Faith and Wake Up to Wonder: 22 Invitations to Amazement in the Everyday“I wholeheartedly endorse Church for Everyone by Dan Kreiss and Efrem Smith. As regional president of Converge PacWest, I have witnessed the challenge of attracting and retaining emerging young adults in faith communities that lack inclusiveness, social justice, racial reconciliation, and multiracial representation. Church for Everyone is an essential read for pastors, leaders, and individuals who are passionate about creating vibrant, diverse, and justice-oriented faith communities. Through their profound insights, Kreiss and Smith inspire hope and provide a road map for those seeking to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities of our increasingly diverse world.”
– Bernard Emerson, regional president of Converge PacWestAbout The Author
