Filipino American Ministry Initiative (FAMI)

We empower Filipino American Christians to lead and flourish in ministry

You’re Not Alone

God has long been at work through our people, but we’ve been separated from who we are and our contributions to God’s work in the world. At the Filipino American Ministry Initiative (FAMI), we surround you with community and support you to minister well out of who you are.

Let’s Journey Together

At FAMI, we journey with you towards healing because your health as a leader impacts the flourishing of your relationships, ministries, and community. We bring you, with your unique story and gifts, into a community of like-minded Christians, led by experienced scholar-practitioners who support your growth in ministry leadership.

Meet Our Community

Whether you’re a ministry, lay leader, or student, we invite you to join our FAMI-lia– our growing, global family of formation group alumni– by signing up for our next Formation Group cohort. Space is limited, so reach out to us!
