AAPIs in CCDA Affinity Group

This is a space for AAPI practitioners from every context to connect. We recognize the difficulties and disconnection that AAPIs may face in a ministry or organizational context that doesn’t reflect them. Together, we explore the unique strengths and needs of the AAPI community and how our cultural backgrounds can inform and embolden CCD work. If you identify as AAPI, we would love to connect with you. We regularly check-in and support each other, brainstorm and plan events for CCDA.
