Mapping Intercultural Mission
Mapping and shaping intercultural mission in the UK 2022 – play your part
Churches across the UK and Europe are saying they need help in reaching out interculturally, crossing barriers with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
But what are these main barriers? What effective intercultural mission activity is going on across the UK? And what are the common themes and strategies for effectiveness?
Phase 1 - National survey
In May, June, and July 2022, the Intercultural Hub is partnering with Eido Research to map UK church engagement with intercultural mission.
This short online survey is designed for church leaders and regular church goers in UK churches.
Goal: Engage with as many church leaders and church goers as possible. Crucially in areas of highest ethnic diversity, identifying the most effective case-studies.
Output: Initial report identifying the main barriers and case studies of interest of UK churches in intercultural mission.

“It is very important for the church to engage in intercultural research to help us better understand how we can be effective in crossing-culture to share the Gospel and develop intercultural churches. This research is very exciting because it is seeking to uncover that”
