Scott Temple, Director Intercultural Ministries

Our Mission
Intercultural Ministries exists to serve as an agency of the Assemblies of God for the evangelization of culturally distinct people groups in America.

People are coming to America from every nation, giving the church a unique opportunity to reach the world by reaching those who are coming to us. Intercultural Ministries provides for the appointment and oversight of national U.S. missionaries who are called to take the good news to those people groups whose evangelization involves specialized understanding and preparation. Currently, about 400 IM missionaries are ministering to the various ethnic people groups and in compassion ministries to those who are blind or visually impaired, deaf, persons with a physical or mental disability, kids at risk and others.

With the goal of encouraging and raising up leaders from among these various groups, IM Missionaries are involved in programs of training and mentoring including the Schools of Urban Missions, Native American Bible Schools and Development Centers as well as our Language Seminars for non-English speaking ministers and laypersons interested in becoming involved in ministry.

IM is committed to the establishment of self-governing, self-supporting, self-propagating churches and ministries among these cultural groups.
