Sound familiar?

Church is where you want to belong. The language shouldn’t stop you.

You freeze at the door

Someone greets you in Chinese and you only manage a smile.

🎶

You don’t know what’s happening

Words like 敬拜 and 奉獻 fly by, and you’re not sure when to sing, stand or give.

☕

You want to connect

After the service you’d love to chat, share, and ask for prayer, in Chinese.

What’s inside
