God’s family is made up of people from every nation and language (Rev7:9), and at Reach Derby we want to fully reflect the cultural diversity of our city and God’s kingdom. Whatever your background we want you to feel fully at home with us, and that means that we value your cultural heritage! In our Sunday gatherings we are working to include a variety of languages and musical styles in our worship; we can offer basic text interpretation through your mobile phone, and our speakers’ slides are currently in 3 languages. Several times a year we celebrate and eat together as a whole church marking important cultural events such as the Lunar New Year, Naw Ruz, and of course Christmas and Easter. For those who are learning English, we provide free conversational English classes on Sunday mornings before the main meeting, and we also offer various courses in Farsi and Cantonese, including Alpha, ‘Al Massira’, and ‘Who is Jesus?’. 

If you would like to be a part of our Cross-cultural team; to help with the social events, English classes, learn about another culture, and build bridges that will bring us closer together, then please contact us at derby@reachonline.org
