TCP equips Korean American and immigrant church leaders with training to implement culturally relevant small group ministries.

The Thriving Congregations Program (TCP) addresses the problem in Korean American and Korean immigrant churches that effective small group ministry cannot be a “one-size-fits-all” endeavor in today’s pluralistic culture in the United States. Small group ministry is a biblical mandate with historic frameworks for spiritual formation in congregations. Churches can and will thrive as small group ministers are better prepared and equipped to effectively reach their congregation. WMU believes that Korean American and Korean immigrant small group ministry in the Korean language can be substantially supported and improved through effective training and education of the small group leaders and ministers. Korean speaking congregations will benefit from well-equipped small group activities that engage in both traditional and non-traditional methodologies.
