Asian American Christian Collaborative

What Asian American Christian Collaborative does

Asian American Christian Collaborative (AACC) is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization founded in 2020 to serve Asian American Christians through culturally contextualized resources, community building, and advocacy. The organization operates a digital content platform comprising articles, a podcast, video resources, research reports, and thematic initiatives including the Mental Health Initiative, the Civil Rights Tour, and the 'At the Table' roundtable series. Content verticals span Justice & Culture, Faith & Theology, personal stories, and curated series, supplemented by community-contributed submissions.

AACC's product surface extends beyond digital publishing into programmatic offerings: the AACC Conference (inaugural held October 2025 in Washington D.C. with ~300 attendees), the Pastors Gathering, the NextGen Leadership Cohort, and youth ministry resources developed in partnership with TENx10 Collaboration (Fuller Youth Institute at Fuller Seminary). The organization is led by a small team of 9, including President Raymond Chang (who also serves as Executive Director of TENx10), Editorial Director Clark Fobes, and Next Gen Coordinator Izzy Koo. Sub-brands include At the Table, The Blessing, and Kairos, while the original publication platform was previously known as Reclaim.

The business model is entirely donation-based: AACC is 100% donor-supported and volunteer-driven, with revenue from charitable contributions processed through Funraise, plus nominal conference and event registration fees. Resources are freely accessible without paywall. The organization reports no parent company, no institutional investment, and no PE/VC backing, operating as an independent nonprofit governed by a board of directors. Marketing channels include the website, podcast distribution, email newsletter, social media (Instagram, Facebook), and in-person events.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Sojourners: Faith-based nonprofit advancing Christian social justice, racial reconciliation, and public-policy advocacy via content, conferences, and convenings. Comparable in merging theology with justice/culture work and publishing thought-leadership content.
• InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: Faith-based nonprofit focused on collegiate Christian ministry with strong ethnic-specific ministries (Asian American, Black, etc.). Operates with a similar combination of conferences, content, and chapter-based community building, directly comparable to AACC's ministry approach.
• Young Life: Faith-based nonprofit focused on youth discipleship with regional, conference-driven engagement and donor-supported revenue model. Comparable in mission orientation toward next-generation Christians and reliance on volunteer/staff leadership pipelines.
• Chinese for Christ Church Movement: Ethnic-specific Chinese American evangelical denomination and conference ministry. Comparable as an ethnic-specific Christian organization serving a similar demographic through conferences, leadership cohorts, and church partnerships.
• Fuller Youth Institute: Faith-based research and ministry organization within Fuller Seminary focused on next-generation discipleship. Directly comparable via the TENx10 partnership, shared leadership overlap, and overlapping youth/cohort programming.

Emerging players

• World Relief: Faith-based humanitarian and immigration advocacy organization partnered with AACC. Comparable mission orientation at the intersection of Christian identity and justice/immigration advocacy; relevant as both a partner and adjacent peer.
• Asian Americans Advancing Justice: Pan-Asian American civil rights and advocacy nonprofit partnered with AACC. Comparable in serving Asian American identity through research, statements, and convenings; differs in being secular rather than faith-rooted.
• Korean American Christian Ministries (various) / KACEM: Faith-based organizations serving Korean American Christians via conferences, leadership development, and community engagement. Adjacent ethnic-specific ministry peer with similar programmatic structure but different sub-ethnic focus.

Broad incumbents

• Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ): One of the largest U.S. collegiate Christian ministries with a dedicated Epic Movement focused on Asian American outreach (Margaret Yu, honored at AACC's inaugural conference, was its National Director). Overlapping constituency and conference model make it a close adjacent incumbent.

Regional players

• The Third Church (or Pui Kwan Kui) / Chinese American基督教 organizations: Long-standing Chinese American Christian conferences and associations that convene ethnic-specific believers for discipleship and leadership training. Comparable conference-and-community model for Asian American Christians, though predominantly Chinese-heritage.
