Hello, I’m Grace Lung

I grew up and have served at ethnic churches in Australia. As I served in more roles, I noticed the brokenness between the generations and cultures within the church. This drove me to figure out how to alleviate and resolve conflicts in cross-cultural faith settings. ​

I’m currently Director of the Centre for Asian Christianity (CAC) at Brisbane School of Theology; Next Generation Bi-cultural Program Co-ordinator at the Melbourne School of Theology, and on pastoral staff at a church plant in Brisbane.

I studied at Sydney Missionary and Bible College, and Fuller Theological Seminary. I now dedicate my time in helping individuals and Christian groups (migrant churches, second generation and Anglo Australian groups) understand their own contexts and then the other cultures around them. I achieve this through (1) train and educate individuals and groups (2) I work at CAC @ BST, and MST (3) Public engagement by writing academically and at popular levels.

I have contributed chapters of various books, blogs and journal articles. For a full list, click here.

I have formerly volunteered at the RICE Movement as the co-host of the podcast ‘Did You Eat Yet?’, been a Volunteer Associate at Interserve Culture Connect and State Ministry Team member of OMF Queensland. I was a Board of Reference member for the Centre for Asian Christianity at BST. I was also a 2019 ADM (Anglican Deaconess Ministries) Summer Fellow.

​I am currently serving as a pastor for the second generation Asian Australian church. I love spending time with my family, being a mother and wife, and catching up on the latest Asian pop music, dramas and food. Let me know if you’d like to connect!
