- 06Yes, we do have regular weekday activities and spring retreat program for middle schoolers and high scoolers. Please click Here for youth ministry information.
- 07We will be singing in both Chinese and English with a well-balanced proportion. Most Chinese-speakers can sing in English, but it's not quite true on the opposite. In order to help our English-speaking congregation worshiping along with us when we are sing a Chinese song, we will mark the Chinese pronounciation with English letters on top of each Chinese character, as well as the English translation underneath. We hope this would help our English-speakers not only understand, but also participate in worship by singing.
- 08We try to choose songs that are spiritually helpful, Christ-centered, musically excellent, and inviting for everyone to sing. There will be a mix of old songs, new songs, and old songs done in new ways. Cross Covenant highly values singing that engages your heart and mind, and that fixes your focus on God during worship.
- 09Christ Covenant Church is also a member of the Presbyterian Church in Amercia. We are grateful for their generous help for providing space and facilities, and assistance on children ministry, nursery childcare, and youth ministry. We hold the same value and standard of theology as members of the body of Christ. We believe you will love the ministries and the overall church atmosphere that they have created!
- 10In 1 Corinthians 12, the Bible talks about the idea of being members of one body, so we value the idea membership. Anyone is welcome to attend as long as they like without becoming a member, but we do believe that in the long run we will be a better church as individuals commit their gifts to use in the community. We also believe that you will benefit more from our community life by becoming a faithful member. You can learn more in our membership classes, which happen several times throughout the year.
