Chris Beard, Marc Champagne, and Mark Roser had hearts for “church like heaven” as in Revelation 7:9. So in 2011, the three pastors gathered to discuss issues specific to multi-ethnic churches. The trio continued meeting on an ongoing basis and inviting others to join in the discussion. By 2012, the group had grown in numbers and in 2013, they adopted the designation of “Mosaix Cincy Network,” which provided traction and direction to the movement. 

​

As Mosiax, we desire to catalyze the Church in the greater Cincinnati region to labor toward ethnically and economically diverse congregations. 

Toward this end, the Mosaix Cincy Network exists to: 

1. Encourage leaders through shared knowledge and the cultivation 

of city-wide relationships; 

2. Resource leaders with ideas, skills, and cultural awareness unique 

to churches striving to reflect a diverse community; 

3. Promote the intentional expansion of multi-ethnic and economically 

diverse churches. 

​

To accomplish these objectives, Mosiax Cincy Network meets on a monthly basis (the 2nd Tuesday of each month) at local churches, from noon-1:30 p.m. Our times together are spent over a meal, combined with instruction or dialogue on a pertinent topic and followed up with discussion and prayer in smaller groups. 

​

We seek to examine the theological underpinnings for this movement, explore nuts and bolts/best practices, clarify terms, and continue to pursue any missing voices at the table – all in the context of mutually supportive relationships and a shared vision to see “church like heaven on earth.”
