The question came up in a recent conversation about how effective is video teaching with non-white church attenders. My hunch (based on my limited experience) in following the chatter with multi-site churches and multiethnic churches over the years, is that video teaching seems to work better with white teaching pastors and communicators.
In other words, it’s (seemingly) harder to find video-driven preaching in multi-site churches with a lead pastor who is a person of color. I’m not a paid researcher nor do I know of research that has diced and sliced the data to quantify this hunch. What I can do is put a list together.
This list of multisite churches have POC teachers and preachers; your help in adding to the list would be most appreciated. Listed in no particular order.

Finding Video Teaching Churches
A side note. With over 5,000 multi-site churches in North America, there may well be many more video teaching being done by non-white pastors. But most churches do not mention whether their campus locations have video teaching on their website or not. So it’d take extra research and effort to find that info; you can help.
