The Diversity of the Kairos Community

Written by David Williams, President, Taylor Seminary and Greg Henson, President, Sioux Falls Seminary

The Kairos community is made up of students, mentors, and partners from around the world. This naturally creates diversity in race, ethnicity, age, geography, and culture. But our diversity extends well beyond those categories, encompassing a wide range of theological convictions and social or political perspectives. What holds us together is not uniformity, but a shared desire to become more faithful followers of Jesus under the authority of Scripture and the guidance of God’s Spirit.

Within Kairos, many denominations and theological traditions are represented, each bringing distinct perspectives on faith, Scripture, and practice. These differences are real and significant, yet they do not define or divide us.

In a world that often rewards agreement and conformity, the Kairos community seeks a different way. Our unity is found not in identical beliefs, but in our shared commitment to the way of Jesus. We believe that our diversity offers an opportunity to learn from one another, to deepen our understanding of God’s work in the world, and to grow together as a faithful and global community of Christ-followers.
