The Asian American Christian Collaborative is by, for, and about Asian American Christians. We amplify the voices, issues, and histories of Asian Americans in the church and society.
The vision of the AACC is to see the Asian American Christians and the Asian American church flourish. We hope to see Asian Americans established in their spiritual and cultural identities, empowered to influence culture, and equipped to create change for the sake of the Gospel. We exist to equip, empower, and encourage Asian American Christians and friends of our community towards holistic discipleship. We seek to help Asian American Christians, the Asian American church, and the broader church unlock and unleash the fullness of all the gifts that God has established in us and our respective communities.
The marginalization of Asian American Christian voices and leadership inhibits the growth and flourishing of the Asian American Church. Asian Americans have historically faced marginalization, fueled by stereotypes such as the model minority myth, perpetual foreigner stereotype, and orientalism. These stereotypes contribute to the invisibility and minimization of Asian Americans. Consequently, many Asian Americans feel compelled to assimilate and erase their own identities in order to be acknowledged and respected.
AACC bridges the gap by promoting the empowerment of Asian American Christians through advocacy, community building, and education.
AACC is thrilled to announce the very first AACC Conference happening on October 27-29, 2025 at Open Door Presbyterian Church in the DC Metro area!
This is a conference for Asian American Christians, pastors/ministry leaders, professionals, and emerging generations. Our hope is that you will walk away with meaningful connections, deep and practical insights, and a deep sense of encouragement.
The AACC Podcast desires to INSPIRE, INFORM, & EQUIP emerging leaders in the AAPI Christian community by engaging in edifying, in-depth, nuanced conversation with a wide variety of AAPI voices. The driving principle behind the AACC Podcast is to illuminate for our listeners different perspectives specifically within the AAPI context of various theological, cultural, and societal backgrounds regarding engaging in theology and faith in our world today.
What does it mean to be an Asian American Christian? How does an Asian American Christian flourish in all areas of life? Join Raymond Chang as he engages a range of Christian leaders on the issues facing Asian American Christians.
AACC presents At the Table, a series of roundtable discussions where Asian American Christian pastors and leaders come together to address pressing questions and issues that impact the broader Asian American Christian community, with a specific focus on the church.
Together, we can unlock and unleash the gifts of the Asian American church. Would you consider supporting the work of AACC to empower Asian American Christian voices right now and for the future? Donate today!
