About CultureCross

Why CultureCross?

Canada is the world leader in welcoming newcomers, receiving about one million temporary and permanent residents every year from all over the globe. This means our neighbourhoods are changing!

Many Christians feel unequipped to reach out to their new neighbours or to connect with people of other cultures, even those in their own churches. You wouldn’t expect an international missionary to be successful without cultural training and education – your church needs and deserves the same!

This 12-week training course helps teams and small groups learn what it means to cross cultures and truly love your neighbours. A little education helps all of us move from fear to friendship, turning our compassion into true community.



The CultureCross Course

CultureCross is an easy-to-use 12-lesson course for Christians of any background who want to learn to love their new Canadian neighbours better.

  • Video-led curriculum with discussion guides and practical resources
  • Requires no training to run a course
  • Taught by diverse experts in the field of cross-cultural ministry
  • Created in Canada by Canadians and for Canadians
  • Sparks helpful conversations that lead to transformation of heart, mind and actions
  • Bible-based, suitable for all denominations

CultureCross won’t tell you exactly what to do in your community – that’s up to God’s direction, your calling and your ministry vision! What CultureCross will do is prepare you and your Christian community to be the kind of people who can love others even better as you begin to understand the world from other perspectives.
