No — and this is actually central to the original message. The commission recorded at the end of Matthew's gospel is explicit: "Go and make disciples of all nations." The Greek word used is *panta ta ethne* — all peoples, all ethnicities, all cultures. The earliest congregation in Acts was remarkably diverse for its time: Jewish, Samaritan, Ethiopian, Roman, Greek. Paul writes in Galatians that "there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female" — one humanity before God. The cultural expressions of Christianity vary enormously around the world, and that is as it should be. The core message is not tied to any single culture.
