in community

Faithful leadership starts with knowing who we are. This conference invites Asian American Christians, to reclaim our shared history, embrace our cultural identity, and lead from a place of spiritual depth. If you’re ready to live and lead with purpose, this conference is for you!

  • Life and leadership are not meant to be done alone. Out of knowing God and being known by God in community, this gathering fosters meaningful relationships across ministry, nonprofit, marketplace and advocacy spaces. Whether you are full time in the home, in ministry settings, in the marketplace, and beyond, it’s a place to share stories, learn from one another, and realize that we are better together.

  • Growth in your faith and in your Asian American Christian identity.

    Connection with leaders in ministry, nonprofit, marketplace and advocacy spaces.

    Encouragement by being seen and known in a space that is designed with you in mind.

    A Sense of Camaraderie by interacting with others that are wrestling with similar questions and challenges.

    Increased confidence in your identity, leadership and ability to disciple others.

  • Deeper Faith to navigate life and leadership in the home, in vocational ministry and in the marketplace.

    Real Connections for mutual encouragement and growth.

    Tools to address the challenges Asian American Christians are facing.

    Learnings about the State of Asian American Christianity.

    Insights to disciple and develop future leaders.

    Strategies to lead gospel change in a complicated world.

  • This conference is for pastors, nonprofit leaders, marketplace leaders, emerging leaders, organizers, caretakers, and anyone wanting to grow in their faith as an Asian American Christian that wants to make a difference in the world for Jesus.

    While this is a conference designed with Asian American Christians in mind, all are welcome.

Conference Schedule

FREE PRE-CONFERENCE FOR PASTORS, YOUTH PASTORS/LEADERS, AND OTHERS WORKING WITH YOUTH:
In response to the youth discipleship crisis in the U.S., AACC has partnered with TENx10 to make faith matter more for 10 million young people over 10 years - emphasizing the importance of relational discipleship radically focused on Jesus. On Monday, October 27 from 9AM-3PM, TENx10 will host a FREE pre-conference for senior pastors, youth pastors, and others who work directly with youth. Come to connect with other ministry leaders who are passionate about the faith of the emerging generations, engage with research and Bible based frameworks, and receive tools to reach and disciple emerging generations. This is for ministry leaders (vocational, bi-vocational, and volunteer) only. Lunch is provided. Limited spaces available.

Breakout sessions

Our sessions will explore the vital intersection of Asian American identity and Christian faith, equipping you for impactful discipleship, authentic leadership rooted in your unique experience, culturally relevant ministry practices, and activating your faith to make a meaningful difference in the world around you. Some topics will include:

  • Experiencing Wholeness in a Fractured World

  • Healing from Church Hurt and Racial Trauma

  • The Mixed Race Experience

  • Intergenerational Relationships and Conflict

“Living in unprecedented and uncertain times, we need to deepen connections with fellow believers—now more than ever. The AACC Conference will be a unifying event for leaders who love Christ and want to advocate for the voiceless and bring hope where hope is needed.”
— Gracie Hulse
“The AACC Conference is so needed because it offers Asian Americans a rare space to be fully seen—to sit in rooms with others who carry similar stories of the past and share bold hopes for the future. Spaces like these remind us that we’re not alone in our journey toward healing, wholeness, and stepping into the fullness of our identity as Asian American Christians.”
— Izzy Koo
“In our crazy world, it’s important to find spaces that are honest with the state of our world while also giving us the hope of the living Christ. The AACC Conference is a space where Asian American Christians can be seen and heard while also being edified with the good news that Christ has overcome. ”
— Daniel Harris
