The complex dynamics between ethnicity and religion have resulted in a segregated American religious landscape. The majority of churches are ethnically divided. As leaders have begun to address this issue and build multiethnic faith communities, little multiethnic research has existed on a small group level of analysis. This study filled this research gap by examining leadership and identity within multiethnic, faith-based small groups. Using a qualitative, multiple-case study framework, the study looked at three different multiethnic groups. The theoretical framework included social identity theory, optimal distinctiveness theory, the small group movement, church growth theory, and the homogenous unit principle. Data collection included group visits, online questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. The purpose of this study was to understand how multiethnicity impacted identity and leadership in small group settings. The study proposed a model for multiethnic leadership and identity that integrated the research results with the graduated inclusion model and optimal distinctiveness theory. Multiethnic leadership cultivated a culture of curiosity and caring hospitality, focused on similarities, and integrated uniqueness with cultural bridges and teamwork. Multiethnic identity normalized multiethnicity and denormalized ethnic homogeneity, resulting in group curiosity, trust, belonging, and satisfaction. The results of this study expand previous theoretical understandings and can be applied to multiethnic, faith-based small group leadership networks.
