Kata Pneuma: European International Churches and Next Gen Immigrant Youth

As immigration increases in Europe, cultural hybridization seems to be accelerating. How will sociologists and anthropologists classify a child with a father from one culture and a mother from a second culture with the child being raised in a completely different third culture? How will missiologists and practitioners engage with cultural hybrids? Pentecostal International churches in Europe are engaging immigrants, refugees, globalized Europeans, and, arguably, cultural hybrids. Examining the praxis of the two most prominent models of International church within the Fellowship of European International Churches (FEIC)— the mono-congregational and multi-congregational models— this paper offers suggestions on how better to reach cultural hybrid youth in Europe’s vast urban areas.
