Mark DeYmaz is the founding pastor of the Mosaic Church of Central Arkansas in Little Rock, a multi-ethnic and economically diverse church where significant percentages of Black and White Americans, together with men and women from more than 30 nations, walk, work and worship God together as one.

A recognized leader in the emerging Multi-ethnic Church Movement, his book, Building a Healthy Multi-ethnic Church (Jossey-Bass/Leadership Network, 2007) was chosen as a finalist for a Christianity Today Book of the Year Award and for a Resource of the Year Award sponsored by Outreach Magazine. His most recent book, Ethnic Blends: Mixing Diversity Into Your Local Church (Zondervan/Leadership Network, 2010) identifies seven common challenges of a multi-ethnic church and demonstrates how to overcome the obstacles.

Mark is a former member of Little Rock’s Racial and Cultural Diversity Commission, and past chair of that city’s Faith Alliance. He is a co-founder and the Executive Director of the Mosaix Global Network, an organization dedicated to inspiring unity and diversity in the local church throughout North America and beyond.

In addition, Mark is a contributing editor and columnist for Outreach Magazine, and a contributing editor for Leadership Journal.
