Community Church Hong Kong (CCHK) was founded on the
VISION to SPREAD THE
LORD'S WORD AND TO SHARE THE LOVE OF GOD WITH ALL. The seed
money was donated by local Hong Kong people who believed in
this Vision. The Church was legally established in December,
1996 and charitable status was granted in the Spring of
1997.
Our church is independent though ecumenical, meaning
the congregation governs and we respect all denominations
and cooperate with cooperative church bodies like the Hong
Kong Christian Council and support para-church groups like
Heifer Project China, World Vision and other helping
organizations. CCHK does not receive any government grant
nor subsidy from any denominations or other
churches.
Blessings have been heaped onto CCHK and we have
benefited by the tremendous devotion of our founding
friends. We began worship with nine adults and four children
in our pastor's living room and within a year were a l00
adults and 25 children in a series of superb and almost
unique public worship sites beginning in March l997 on Floor
39 of Lippo Centre and then in December at Central
Plaza.
The staff is small: the pastor, a part-time secretary,
two Sunday housekeepers. We have a Church Council of 12 and
4 advisors. We create task force groups to carry out
specific programs as they arise such as seasonal visits to
orphanages and hospitals, special events like our Christmas
Sing-Along Messiah, and our support for Heifer Projects
China.
Everyone who participates in our Sunday worship is
considered a member. In addition we invite persons who are
interested in committing themselves to share and bring forth
the Vision of CCHK to take a further step of training and
public commitment by becoming Serving Members.
We call upon Serving Members to be the Outreach
Ambassadors of the congregation, to support the Council and
pastor, to reach out to visitors, to help run the several
task forces and occasional committees needed to realize our
program, and to reinforce the Vision and Mission of
CCHK.
