by bringing joy to God’s heart as a lifestyle, our main calling. We also understand that Chai Wan is a “place of worship”, where many people come to worship their ancestors. Our desire, as a Christian Community, is to lift up the name of Jesus in this very place.
by being committed to obey God’s commandment to disciple His people, in the context of daily life and through formal training.
by opening the doors of this Community Centre as a “place of refuge” and a “beacon of light” and to welcome those that are broken, lonely and lost.
by living and sharing the kingdom of God together. Our desire is to model a community composed of healthy families and young people where parents and children serve God together, and single people also find that sense of belonging by being mentored by mature leaders, and in turn also becoming mentors to the younger generations.
by reaching out to the neighbourhood and deepening the strategic partnerships with the local churches, providing a variety of courses (arts, music, languages, etc.) for low income families’ children, supporting social aid projects from local churches, and facilitating local outreaches (such as street evangelism).
by sharing life, not just service together. Together we eat meals, seek God, live in a variety of shared housing, and are constantly strengthened by the gifts and experiences of others. Simultaneously, we value the individual, seeking to empower and equip them, whilst recognizing their unique gifts and calling.
