Cultural Affinity Groups at Grace Downtown

While we aim to be one unified body of Christ, we recognize the diversity in our unity and acknowledge that groups of people have different shared experiences and needs. 

Similar to how we have Women’s Leadership Council events designed for our women, Men’s Ministry events designed for our men, and Young Adults’ Group events designed for our young adults, we also have gatherings designed for our Black sisters and brothers and for our church family of Asian descent.

Black Gatherings: Ongoing gatherings for our church family of the African & Black Diaspora to connect with each other, enjoy a meal, grow in Christ, pray, and more. These gatherings are open to those who identify as Africans, African Americans, Black Americans, Caribbeans, and more.

Asian/AAPI Gatherings- “Around The Table”– Ongoing gatherings for our church family of Asian descent to connect with each other, enjoy a meal, grow in Christ, pray, and more. Around The Table is open to those who identify as Asian or Asian American of varying generations, including (but not limited to) the breadth of people we currently have in our church family–Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese, Indians, Indonesians, Filipinos, Singaporeans, and more. 

Of course, each of these people groups is distinct! And this is an opportunity to honor their distinctions and similarities. 

Ultimately, these are gatherings for those who would feel blessed by them.

To join or ask about a cultural group, contact Grace Downtown’s Cultural Intelligence (CQ) Ministry at cqministry@gracedc.net or sign up here.

We look forward to the flourishing of these and future groups!
