After
two years of prayer by Rev. Peter Atkins, the Chinese Church in Hobart
was born in May 1989, first in the form of Bible study on Saturday
afternoon.
From
November 1989, bilingual Cantonese and English worship service was held
once every two weeks. The Church welcomes believers of any denomination.
It is a spiritual home for all Chinese Christians. Through Bible study,
prayer, Sunday worship and other
activities, we seek to strengthen the life
of the fellowship to learn together to serve the Lord and to bear
witness to Him through words and actions. Those who worship with us,
come from different countries and denominations, but God has united us
together to serve Him and He has been pleased to add to the Church such
as should be saved. Moreover, throughout the years, many of those who
have gone back to their own countries or moved to other parts of
Australia continue to witness to Jesus Christ in their various
professions and different denominational churches.
The
Church now has Cantonese and Mandarin worship service every Sunday; We
welcome all Christian and non-Christian friends to join us in our
various activities and we would echo words of the Apostle Paul
that Our
hearts desires and prayer to God,
is that they might be saved.
