Swindon Chinese Christian Church
(Charity No: 1137637)
St. Philip's Road, Upper Stratton, Swindon, SN2 7QH
2022-23 Trustees' Annual Report
With further influx of more Cantonese speaking immigrants from Hong Kong, our church has continued to grow steadily in 2022-23. We continued to further the religious work within the Chinese Christian Community and to advance religious education.
The average number of people attending our weekly Sunday Service was around 90 adults and 40 children this year. In addition, we hold regular fellowship meetings and Sunday school classes for children.
Our lead Pastor Rev Charis Cheung and lay pastor Dr Andrew Leung continued to provide pastoral care to our members and to preach the Bible to the Chinese congregation. An elected committee held monthly meetings with the Pastor and the trustees to take charge of day-to-day church administration work.
