The US Hispanic/ Latino (Latina) sermon listener represents a unique group of individuals that have a particular experience of preaching, which can provide insights on how preaching constitutes a vehicle for shaping and reshaping a religious and social community. Through the use of in-depth interviews of a diverse group of US Hispanic/Latino (Latina) sermon listeners a series of characteristics of a good sermon were identified.

At the same time, the transcendental nature of preaching has limited the amount of research conducted on the impact that the sermon has as a communication vehicle for the formation of personal and communal identity. To mitigate this gap in communication research, this ethnographic study explores the preaching event from the perspective of the sermon listeners within two multiethnic congregations to ascertain how sermon listeners in these congregations make sense of a sermon during the preaching event.
This ethnographic study seeks to understand how one individual from a unique ethnic group communicates with an audience composed of a multiplicity of ethnicities. In the process, this study discovered that the targeted congregations have experienced ethnic transcendence; thus,
their members have renegotiated their self-identity and have adopted religious belief and membership in their respective congregations as a greater salience in their self-concept. In addition, this project discovered that the unique culture of each congregation plays a pervasive role in how individuals make sense of the sermon. Further, this study defines the various schemes used by the sermon listeners within the targeted congregations to make sense of the sermon and the strategies used by the preachers within these congregations to engender and sustain the process of ethnic transcendence.
