Student organizations whose missions are tied to the work of OMP through their focus on racial, ethnic, and cultural celebration and reconciliation gather together to form a common Multicultural Council under the support and advisement of both the OMP and Student Government Association.
"It is the mission of the Messiah College Multicultural Council to serve the entire student body through our efforts to improve campus life for all ethnic minority students. We seek to bring unification amongst our organizations and knowledge of our cultures to the Messiah College Community. In all things we will uplift Jesus as the head of our council and the Body of Christ. We pursue love. We embrace unity. We uphold the value of our understanding and our differences."

This organization was established in order to emphasize the African community at Messiah: one part of Messiah College's ever-growing diversity. We intend for it to foster unity between fellow Africans on campus (and off campus) as well as with other students on campus. For those who hold leadership positions in the organization, it becomes a chance to fine-tune their leadership skills, as well as giving them the chance to share their
visions for Africa's future.

The Asian Student Association celebrates and explores the different Asian cultures that exist on campus. Trips to various churches, neighborhoods, and restaurants are some of the activities that the organization sponsors. The Chinese New Year's celebration is one of the highlights of the year and brings new life to the Messiah community.

Our mission is to provide resources and an engaging environment for whites to explore ourselves, assess our identities and understand our backgrounds. We seek to uncover our own internalized racism and examine the ways we benefit and participate in systemic racism and white privilege, while re-creating an honest and positive identity.
