Join us as we gather to listen and learn from the stories and experiences of our Asian American brothers and sisters. Below you’ll find a live panel from our May 19th Service as well resources to read and watch with your friends and family to further your understanding of our Asian American family. We hope this opportunity for us to come together, deepen our connections and expand our perspectives will help us see the beautifully diverse way God created each one of us in his image - and how better understanding leads to more love.
