Adapting An Anglo-American Church to a Diverse Community

Juno Wang. Adapting an Anglo-American Church to a Diverse Community: A Case Study of Grace Bible Church in the Silicon Valley. The purpose of this research project is to understand the barriers predominantly Anglo-American churches have in reaching a multi-cultural community.  This was achieved by conducting a case study on Grace Bible Church in the Silicon Valley.  The research results show that the most effective approach for a predominantly Anglo-American church to reach diverse peoples is through a congregational training program that intentionally targets intercultural awareness, knowledge, and skills.  This paper suggests a way to bridge the cultural gap and help mono-cultural churches of the Silicon Valley reach out to the multi-cultural community.  A local church can be part of the world missions force if we learn to overcome multi-cultural outreach barriers.  (Please click on the photo to read the paper.)

    1. Hi Jessica, I apologize for the link problem, and it has been fixed. Please note this paper was written in 2014 for my seminary Capstone project. After that, I conducted a 3 years experimental training from 2016 to 2018 and wrote my dissertation about it. If you are interested to read it, you can find my dissertation at the bottom of the About page of this blog. Let’s keep in touch and I hope we will have an opportunity to meet on Zoom after the New Year. Christmas blessings to you and yours, Juno
