起初的恩典 | Grace at the Beginning

主恩堂（WCCEC）于 2000 年由母会——威名顿主恩堂（WCEC）植堂，承接神的使命，将福音拓展至 West Chester 地区。
从最初的祷告与筹备，到如今稳定聚会与多元事工的开展，我们一路见证神信实的带领与丰富的供应。
也感谢地主教会 Advent Lutheran Church 的接纳与同行，让我们得以在其会堂中聚会敬拜，并共享属灵资源，展现主内合一的美好见证。

West Chester Chinese Evangelical Church (WCCEC) was planted in 2000 by our mother church, Wilmington Chinese Evangelical Church (WCEC), to carry out God’s mission and extend the gospel to the West Chester area.
From the earliest prayers and preparations to today’s steady gatherings and diverse ministries, we have witnessed God’s faithful guidance and abundant provision.
We are also grateful to Advent Lutheran Church for welcoming us into their space, allowing us to worship and share spiritual resources together—a beautiful testimony of unity in Christ.

建立门徒教会 | Building a Disciple-Making Church

主恩堂的异象，是成为一间「以大使命为导向的门徒训练教会」。
我们深信：教会存在的目的，不是为自己，而是为着荣耀基督、完成祂的使命。
无论年龄层、语言群体或文化背景，我们从儿童至长者，从本地到跨文化，不断推动福音广传与门徒造就。
我们致力于建立生命关系、栽培主门徒，并让基督的福音影响每一个人、每一个家庭与整个社区。

Our vision is to be a disciple-making church driven by the Great Commission.
We firmly believe the church exists not for itself, but to glorify Christ and fulfill His mission.
Across all ages, languages, and cultures—from children to elders, from local to cross-cultural—we actively pursue gospel outreach and disciple formation.
We are committed to nurturing life-giving relationships and growing disciples of Christ, so that His gospel may transform every person, every family, and the entire community.

灵命装备与牧养团队 | Spiritual Formation and Shepherding Team

在神的恩典中，我们的牧养团队忠心服事已超过二十年。
从开拓初期到如今多元化的事工，我们始终坚守以圣经真理为根基、以基督为中心的牧养原则。
除了主日崇拜与小组聚会，积极投入门徒训练、福音布道、社区关怀与跨代牧养。
我们感谢历年参与服事的牧者与长执同工，他们的摆上为教会奠定了稳固基石。
2021 年，英文部王永达牧师（Rev. Peter Wang）离任，感谢他在 WCCEC 的忠心服事。
2024 年，Pastor David Browning 一家加入我们的青少年事工，盼望主继续使用他们，并求主兴起更多属灵领袖。
为曾忠心服事的魏宗基长老感恩，因母亲年迈，他已返台照顾家人，愿主亲自报答他的摆上。

By God’s grace, our shepherding team has faithfully served for over twenty years.
From the pioneering days to today’s multifaceted ministries, we remain rooted in biblical truth and centered on Christ.
Beyond Sunday worship and small groups, we invest in discipleship, evangelism, community care, and intergenerational shepherding.
We thank all pastors and leaders who have served over the years—their dedication laid a strong foundation for our church.
In 2021, Rev. Peter Wang stepped down from leading the English ministry. We are grateful for his faithful service.
In 2024, Pastor David Browning and his family joined our youth ministry. We pray the Lord continues to use them and raise up more spiritual leaders.
We also give thanks for Elder Wei Zongji’s faithful service. He has returned to Taiwan to care for his elderly mother. May the Lord reward his sacrifice.

Lansdale 分堂到植堂 | From Satellite to Church Plant in Lansdale

循母会 WCEC 植堂脚步，于 2021 年启动「分堂到植堂」策略，在 Lansdale 区展开本地宣教与门徒训练的拓展事工。
2022 年 Lansdale 分堂正式展开聚会，宋慰传道受派为全职传道人；2024 年按立为牧者，2025 年分堂独立为「活水主恩堂」，承接延续主恩堂的异象与使命。
我们深信：教会不是被呼召停留在一处，而是被差遣出去，将基督的爱与福音带到更远、更广的人群中。

Following WCEC’s church-planting footsteps, we launched the “Satellite to Church Plant” strategy in 2021, expanding local outreach and discipleship in Lansdale.
In 2022, the Lansdale satellite began regular gatherings, with Minister Song Wei appointed full-time. He was ordained in 2024, and in 2025, the satellite will become an independent church — Living Water Missional Church — carrying forward WCCEC’s vision and mission.
We believe the church is not called to remain in one place, but to be sent out—bringing Christ’s love and gospel to wider and farther communities.

展望未来 | Looking Ahead

我们渴望成为「神所赐平安的避风港」、「天国在地上的前哨站」，在这动荡的世代中，活出福音的真光。
无论您来自何方、正在寻找什么，我们诚挚欢迎您加入这个主里的属灵家庭，一同敬拜、一起成长、同心宣教，走一条荣耀神的生命旅程。

We long to be a “harbor of God’s peace” and an “outpost of the Kingdom on earth,” shining the light of the gospel in a turbulent age.
Wherever you come from and whatever you’re seeking, we warmly welcome you into this spiritual family in Christ—to worship, grow, and serve together on a journey that glorifies God.
