“我要把我的教会建造在这磐石上” —马太16:18
奥林匹亚华人基督教会自1991年从一个小小的查经班开始,没有宗派背景。 开始是在家庭,后来人数增多,我们就借用不同的美国的教堂;2002 年聚会借用Westwood 教堂达12 年。2014 年,正当我们计划建堂,神就赐给我们一间占地免费的现成的教堂(26街)。我们在那里聚会了近5年。 2018年, 正当我们面临人数增加, 需要扩建之时,神带领我们买下一间更大的教堂(19街)。“若不是耶和华建造房屋,建造的人就枉然劳力” –诗 127:1
“..and on this rock I will build my church,..”
–Mathew 16:18
Olympia Chinese Christian Church (OCCC) is composed of immigrants from all over the globe including Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Southeast Asia and many other places. After becoming believers of Jesus Christ, we join together to share, discuss and pursue the truth. Our gathering is centered on the Word of God and our goal is to study the Bible and live out its timeless truth in our family, work, and our relationship with others.
OCCC began in 1991 as a small Bible study group with a non-denominational background. We first met in our homes. Later, as the number of attendees grew, the group began to borrow rooms in different English-speaking churches and meet there. In 2012, we moved into Westwood Church and worshiped there for twelve years. In 2014, as we planned to build a church, by the grace of God we inherited a church building that was move-in-ready. We worshiped and fellowshipped there for more than four years. As we faced another growth in numbers, we sensed the need for expansion. God provided again and led us to purchase a bigger church building.
Jesus Christ is the head of our church with the Word of God as the pillar of truth. The brotherly kindness fills our fellowship, and the pursuit of the Lord is our goal. The mission of OCCC is to spread the Gospel of Salvation. For details of our faith, please refer to Statement of Faith page.
OCCC is the only Chinese Christian Church in the Greater Olympia area. The church currently has seven fellowships, including Cantonese fellowship, Youth group…and etc. Prayer meeting takes place each Wednesday night at 7:30PM; Bible study is every Friday at 7:30PM. During the week, there are Sisters’ meeting as well as Seniors’ meeting. On Sundays there are Adult and Youth Sunday schools at 9:15AM. The main church service begins at 10:30AM. Youth group and Children’s Sunday schools are taught by English-speaking teachers. Free lunch is provided after the main church service. The preaching is available in both mandarin Chinese and English.
We sincerely welcome you to join us and to enjoy the richness of God’s family, and most of all, to know Jesus Christ and to pursue the eternal life He offers.
“Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.“
— Psalm 127:1
