Engaging Cultures & Generations
Where culture, calling, and generations meet
ABHMS’ missional efforts to engage cultures and generations reflect a belief that the church thrives when faith is expressed through the richness of diverse cultures and passed from one generation to the next. Through ministries serving Latino, Asian American, Native American, and Haitian communities—alongside the Intercultural Leadership Institute and the Nurturing Children Initiative—ABHMS develops leaders and disciples who navigate culture, language, and generational change with wisdom and grace. By fostering culturally grounded ministries and raising up new leaders, this work helps create beloved communities where diversity is honored and Christ’s reconciling love is lived into the future.
