We exist to celebrate and share our stories, foster community connections, equip and empower Asian American Christians in order to develop healthy and thriving Asian American Christians, churches, pastors and ministry leaders in metro Atlanta.

Our Work

We offer opportunities for Christians to gather and be encouraged and strengthened in our faith journeys, provide resources from the Asian-American perspective to grow in our faith, and communicate about events of interest to our community in the Atlanta area.

Our Values

Christ-centered, multi-denominational and ecumenical; justice & reconciliation; local & community gathering; unity & connectedness; partnerships with other organizations; telling Asian American stories, histories, and perspectives

Our Invitation

Join fellow AAPI community members in claiming our part in God’s work of redeeming, reconciling, and renewing the world.

Our Mission

  1. To Celebrate and Share Our Stories: Embracing our Asian American heritage, we seek to know and tell our collective and individual stories of faith, culture, and resilience as a testament to God’s work in our lives.

  2. Foster Community Connections: We aim to connect Asian American Christians with the broader community—building bridges of understanding and collaboration for the flourishing of all.

  3. Equip and Empower: Providing resources and support to the unique needs of Asian American Christians, we empower individuals and churches to thrive spiritually, culturally, and relationally in all our contexts.
