 | 我們的歷史 |
羅威爾華人聖經教會於一九八九年元月二十二日成立並開始主日崇拜。當時主日租用Lowell Peter Reilly小學,星期五團契借用Chelmsford Trinity Lutheran教會,週三禱告會選擇在弟兄家中舉行,教會辦公室是租用附近商用大樓的地下室。經過一段在神面前禱告尋求的時間,弟兄姐妹們群策群力,憑著信心,加上神無限的恩典,於一九九二年一月二十一日,羅威爾華人聖經教會終於擁有了第一座神所賜給我們的建築物,四月份順利遷入,此後教會一切活動皆集中舉行。三年後蒙神再一次的帶領和引導,於一九九五年六月十二日完成購買第二期的建築物,身為神的兒女們,我們衷心感謝神的恩典和豐富的供應。
羅威爾華人聖經教會成立的目標是傳揚福音與建造聖徒。敬拜,教導,團契,事奉與宣教是我們生活的基礎;誠心敬拜讚美,盡心栽培學習,愛心相互交流,同心配搭事奉,齊心宣揚主愛是我們努力的方向。目前的活動包括主日崇拜,主日學,週五團契,週間禱告會,神學講座,佈道會,退修會,短期宣道,兒童暑期聖經學校等。
羅威爾華人聖經教會自成立以來,蒙神特別的恩典與憐憫,質與量日益增長。一九九五年開始千里達短期宣道事工,次年逐步開始外地事奉,協助支持新英格蘭地區偏遠城鎮的華人教會及團契。2003年正值教會建堂十四週年時,我們在新罕布什爾州的Nashua成立分堂“拿城華人聖經教會”,同心合意擴展主的國度。 今年2007度教會的異象是"傳揚耶穌基督並他釘十字架".
Chinese Bible Church of Greater Lowell was established as a church plant by Chinese Bible Church of Greater Boston. CBCGL held its first Sunday worship on January 22nd 1989, at the Peter Reilly School in Lowell. Rev. Gene Liu was the founding pastor.
For the first three years, CBCGL met on Fridays at Trinity Lutheran Church, Chelmsford, Sundays at the Peter Reilly School, and rented a third space for the church offices. Over the next few years attendance grew to the point where CBCGL was able to buy building B at the current location in 1992. Since that time we have been able to hold all of our activities in this one location. Building A was purchased in 1995.
October 3, 1999 saw the inauguration of CBCGL's English Worship, LEM (Lowell English Ministry).
God has continued to bless the ministry of CBCGL. We now have a family of over 400 adults and youth, 100 children, as well as community Bible studies. From its founding, CBCGL has been a church where people can come to find love and care.
Chinese Bible Church of Greater Lowell is an independent, Chinese, evangelical, Bible church.
