Welcome to the Innovative Space for Asian American Christianity
Bridging the Academy, Church, and Community to Raise Culturally-rooted Spiritual Leaders
This program provides an ecumenical / intergenerational learning space for AA women faith leaders to reflect on their experiences through a field-based hermeneutic that embraces their personal and social identities.
An educational program directed at strengthening national cohorts of Asian American church leaders. This one-year program will fill in gaps that are often overlooked in seminary training to address the unique challenges that Asian American Churches face in their congregations.
The podcast, “When Women Preach…” highlights women preachers from AAPI and Latinx faith communities. In order to create a more equal pulpit, we talk about experiences and resources that prepare women of color to preach effectively.
Since 2006, the Innovative Space for Asian American Christianity has provided research and resources for scholars and church leaders who engage Asian American Christians. Today, ISAAC continues to raise culturally-rooted spiritual leaders led by a team of scholars, pastors, and civic leaders.
We create a third space of learning where leaders in the academy, church, and community can collaboratively advance the development of Asian American faith leaders. Based on mutual learning and empowerment, we provide mentorship and seminars on tangible leadership skills that advance institutions and communities. We publish the annual journal ChristianityNext, resources by, of, and for Asian Americans and others, and tell our collective stories through our podcast and PastoraLab cohorts, and the National Survey on Asian American Congregational Leadership.
Your contributions ensure that our organization continues to provide resources, data, mentorships, and more to our Asian American Christian community.
