What does a church truly committed to racial reconciliation look like? Pastor Mike Fields of Triumph Church in Vicksburg, Mississippi, shares how a personal encounter with God transformed his faith and prepared him to lead one of the most diverse congregations in the state.
From its beginnings in the late 1980s, Triumph Church has reflected the diversity of its community, with Black and white members worshipping and leading together. Fields emphasizes the importance of not just allowing diversity but sharing real influence in shaping the identity and practices of the church. His story offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for leaders seeking to create congregations that embody reconciliation at the very heart of the gospel.
📣 Join us for the Living Reconciled Celebration on September 25 at Mississippi College’s Anderson Hall as we continue the conversation about building churches and communities that reflect the unity of Christ.
