Abstract
This research project addresses the concern of minorities receiving spiritual growth from church leaders. This research project presents how a church accepted the challenge of removing segregation within the church's wall and moving towards integration into the spirit and teaching of Jesus Christ. The research project also has incorporated the book of Galatians, focusing on the Apostle Paul, reminding the Jews and the Gentiles that to fulfill the spirit and teachings of Jesus Christ, you have to Love your neighbor as yourself. The research project presents the methods the church has implemented, such as diversity and inclusion training and additional resources offered to the congregation, with the question of whether they were beneficial and valuable.
