Welcome to PaLM!
Rev. Howard Chan
Executive Director
PaLM is an acronym which stands for Pastoral and Laity Ministries. Our name reflects two important aspects of our service to God. First, our service involves two groups of people, Pastors and the Laity (i.e., lay people). God calls both groups to serve Him, but He calls each to serve a different community; pastors, the church and the laity, the marketplace.

Second, our service to God requires that both pastors and the laity to work together as one. In choosing to call ourselves Pastoral and Laity Ministries we strive to encourage and nurture a close working relationship between pastors and the laity.

PaLM’s mission is to serve as a ministry catalyst, co-ordinator, and resource for Asian American pastors and their churches and congregations - mainly in the New York Metropolitan area. We praise God for the honor and privilege to partner with you in this important ministry.

We welcome you to our website and trust that you will find it informative, helpful, and enlightening. May God bless our service to Him and use each of us to advance His Kingdom and bring Glory to His Name.

Howard

Almost all of us are aware of the fact that in the past contemporary music has divided many church congregations as they struggled over the adoption and use of contemporary music in their Sunday worship services. This is NOT what this article is about. That is to say, I am not writing about what has happened, or is happening, in our INDIVIDUAL churches. Instead, what I am writing about is a bigger, but less obvious division of THE church - all of God's churches as a whole - due to the adoption and use of contemporary music as our primary means of corporate worship at our Sunday worship ser...
