Multicultural Ministries Summit 2022

The Multicultural Summit is a gathering of 21 ministries within the United Pentecostal Church Multicultural Ministries that are focused on evangelizing specific cultures in North America. The Summit takes place every 2 years. This is a time to celebrate our diversity and growth in the UPCI, to hear from God concerning the future, and to equip attendees through lab seminars that will teach strategies for evangelizing specific cultural groups. The Summit is designed to promote evangelism, present training, offer resources, and bring the various leaders and constituents together to celebrate a multicultural revival in North America. The Multicultural Summit is hosted by UPCI Multicultural Ministries.

The Summit is open to everyone, and we encourage pastors, ministers, church leaders, and church members to attend.
