Abstract	:	This research investigates social identities according to the experiences of immigrant believers of Muslim background (BMB) in North America. Henri Tajfel and Nathan Turner's Social Identity Theory and Self-Categorization Theory were utilized to better understand how immigrant BMBs achieve a positive identity, which has implications regarding community, discipleship, and ministry roles. This research also investigates the immigration experience and the search for community, which informs diaspora studies. Three questions guided this research: (1) What were the factors that facilitated a change in religious identity regarding immigrant believers of Muslim backgrounds? (2) What is the relationship between believers from Muslim backgrounds' faith in Christ and identity construction? (3) How do the experiences of immigrant believers from Muslim backgrounds inform social identity theory and diaspora studies?
