ABSTRACT
This chapter presents new paradigm Christianity provides a unique space that allows for the emergence of an idioculture wherein the church is focal to membership commitment. It discusses commitment-formation that places the Kingdom of God central value at Hope Filipino serves as its congregational identity or idioculture which becomes a valid outcome within the flexible institutional space of new paradigm Christianity. Hope Filipino is one of the many congregations of migrants found in Protestant churches in cosmopolitan Singapore, and the largest among all the Filipino congregations of Hope of God International that originated in Bangkok, Thailand. Largely successful in the US and Australia and mostly in the form of megachurch movements, new paradigm Christianity's ability to draw crowds to Protestant conversion foreshadows a new form of contemporary Christianity sensitive to the needs and interests of the modern individual.
