Our local communities are becoming more culturally diverse than ever before.

We find more neighbors coming from various cultural heritages speaking different languages everywhere we go. And this is why you don't have to cross national borders to do God's global mission. Mission can happen right where you are.

Culture for Churches is a 12-week curriculum designed to train small church groups how to love their neighbors by learning and relating to those who might be coming from different cultural backgrounds. Please check out our lesson samples!

  • Each lesson involves:

    Watching a video lesson, discussing the learning content, thinking about how to apply the lessons, and praying for their church and ministry.

  • The curriculum includes:

    Video lessons, a digital leader notebook, and a digital student notebook.

  • The content includes:

    The Culture Tree, Languages of Culture, Communication, Relationship, Core and Flex, Growth Mindset, and more!
