It’s been two years since I wrote “The State of the Immigrant Church”. Since then, I’ve been able to hear from many immigrant church pastors. Thank you to everyone who has reached out!
The last few years have been filled with encouraging conversations. Christ loves his church. I’m thankful to be able to talk with so many pastors who are seeking to care for his church. What a privilege!
As I’ve talked with more pastors, I’ve noticed three themes come up.
First, there’s a lack of clarity about applying ecclesiological principles to different cultural contexts. Second, there’s a lack of framework to evaluate immigrant church structures. Third, there’s a need to remind us involved in the immigrant-church conversation to embody Christ-like patience as we push toward faithfulness in our context.
I’ve written three articles to function like sequels to the initial one I wrote two years ago. The article below answers the first aforementioned theme.
