Well, it would take work, that's for sure.
First of all, what EXACTLY do you mean by post-modern? Do you mean it in the academic sense (i.e. Lyotard), or as in post-denominationalist or post-Christian?
A Multi-ethnic church is a great dream, but to naively say "we want a church that transcends color," does not take into account the very real, and very different cultural traditions, theological nuances held by different ethnic groups; nor does it take into account the reality of white privelege and racism in North America.
If you try to look over these things, you'll get a church that is mainly well-meaning white people who never really examine their own assumptions and attitudes about race.
That being said, if you're willing to put yourself out there, struggle with a multi-ethnic group of people to build a community, then yes, it's possible.
best of luck!

A "multi - ethnic postmodern church"
First I haven't a clue what postmodern is ! But, multi - ethnic is what the Church SHOULD BE ! Dr. M. L. King once said that Sunday is the most Segregated Day of The Week. It was true then, and I am ashamed to say it is still in many Denominations. God never intended Christians to separate ourselves by Race, it is a shame, and a Disgrace.
I would rather Worship in a Church with a good blend of many races then a Church that is all Caucasian.

Yes of course! If you are stating that you believe "now" is "postmodern"...
I have been to many churches that are multi-ethnic.

Absolutely. The Kingdom of God is made up of people from every nation, tribe and tongue (ethnic group) on earth. My church has over 60 people groups represented on any given Sunday.
