Our history and values

The outreach history of Chinese Church in London (CCiL) goes back to the time Pastor Stephen Wang founded the church when the outreach activities were localised and run by individual congregations. In 2005, the purchase and establishment of the Soho Outreach Centre (SOC) near the London Chinatown led to the birth of the Outreach Action Team (OAT), with the purposes of pooling resources amongst congregations as well as making good use of the SOC and putting outreach into action. As CCiL develops into a centre-based church, the OAT ministry is also growing into a church-wide ministry and aims to develop and coordinate the outreach initiatives of the whole church. OAT sees their outreach work as a means to transform the communities.

The gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world — just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. Colossians 1:6
