The Potential Perils of an Immigrant-Led Church

The Fall 2022 SOLA Leader’s Dialogue was a time filled with teaching and encouragement. The theme for the day was, “The Potentials and Perils of Working With the Asian Immigrant Church.” One of the speakers was Steve Chang, senior pastor at Living Hope Community Church and the council chairman of the SOLA Council. 

Speaking to a live audience, Pastor Steve Chang spoke about the dynamics that pastors may encounter as they lead in the immigrant church. His hope was to help pastors to better guard their hearts and navigate some of the cultural nuances in an immigrant-led church. 

Pastor Steve discussed three potential problems or “perils” for pastors:

  1. The problem of competing issues
  2. The problem of uneven relationships
  3. The problem of mismatched callings
