Our History 教會歷史
安提阿華人福音教會的前身是基督教會中心堂,
由柯良珍, 鄺妙玲傳道夫婦於1999年帶領一群旅居北加州康郡安提阿市,熱心愛主的弟兄姐妹開始了查經班,查經班初期在傳道人家中聚會。
2000年七月成立了中心堂,教會初期在安提阿市的游泳池畔開始有了固定的聚會,中心堂於2002年搬遷到現址。2003年,康郡華人福音教會的主任牧師朱樂華牧師知道了我們的需要,帶領康郡華人福音教會出錢出力,以植堂方式支持並牧養我們直到如今,這就是安提阿華人福音教會的由來。
在康郡教會的支持與協助下,這些年間先後差派多名神學生與信徒領袖參與安提阿教會服事。朱樂華牧師於2006年前往歐洲宣教,安提阿教會也已經略具雛形,康郡教會便差派余萃平牧師(現任教會顧問牧師)協助牧養,帶領教會繼續向前邁進與成長。
Antioch Chinese Gospel Church (ACGC) in 2003 took over what was Central Chinese Christian Church (CCCC) – Antioch. In 1999, Pastor James and Fanny Kua led a few Antioch families and formed a Bible study fellowship in Kua’s home, and in July 2000 started CCCC Antioch with regular Sunday Worships in Antioch Waterpark on Lone Tree Way. CCCC Antioch moved to the current location in 2002. In 2003, Contra Costa Gospel Church (CCGC) heard the need of CCCC Antioch, stepped in to help through church-planting effort led by Rev. Luke Chu. The church was renamed to Antioch Chinese Gospel Church up to this day. In helping ACGC, CCGC had sent faithful brothers and sisters to Antioch to help and serve. After Rev. Chu moved to Austria in 2006 to help a Chinese church there, CCGC had sent Rev. Richard Yu to help lead the church. Rev. Richard Yu currently serves as the Advisory Pastor of ACGC, helping the church moving forward.
