Jesus taught us to love our neighbours as ourselves, and the Outreach Ministry serves as a channel to live out that command to those in need. Based on Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 25, the Outreach Ministry provides not only financial assistance to selected organisations and charities in HK and disaster stricken areas within Asia and around the world, but also encourages and organises visits and programs for our church community to spend time and share the love of Christ with the beneficiaries of our funding.

Inner City Ministries (ICM)
Serving our ethnic minority children: Whilst some of our community lead stable and happy lives, there are many dysfunctional families and individuals struggling with unemployment, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness and poor life choices. We offer programmes for children youth and adults which are designed to equip and encourage individuals, strengthen the family and provide new and lasting change in lives. These programs are an important way of expressing our love for people and Jesus’ love for us all. However, we see people’s spiritual needs as paramount and our overarching aim is always to share the gospel and see lives changed by the power of the risen Lord Jesus. In doing this we nurture those who have given their lives to Jesus so that they too may go out and in turn minister to the community around them.
