The Vision and Mission of CAC

Summary of key church activities for the period of year 2020 April - 2021 March

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 APRIL

6, Sunday Evening Discipleship Training Course - 13 attendees,7:30pm to 8:45pm

In Cambridge, our church ( CAC) has an outstanding core ministry. Despite the pandemic lockdown we still have made significant progress spiritually and fellowship bondings among members in the year through various online meetings. We can see a good number of growth of attendees, including non-Christian seekers in meetings. There have been 5 people accepted Jesus as their Saviour in the last few months We are grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ that stronger team momentum and individual spiritual life improvement can be seen among many of us.

For the years ahead a key priority is to build the fellowship between two congregations, Mandarine and Cantonese.

And I am confident that the focus and commitment our church council team is bringing to the church will see a return to form in the months and years ahead as CAC tries to do its bit to help new families and individuals who face challenges and pressure when they settle living or studying in Cambridge. The increasing attendance of outreach events and activities, prayer meetings, children ministry activities, cell groups, Bible study groups are now driving significant growth on Sunday service attendance as well as number of baptisms going to be held in the summer after the lockdown eased.

With new members joining the church supported by the generally improving commitment and strong fellowship of brothers and sisters, we have built some excellent springboards for future growth, and whilst there is still work to do, particularly in Leadership and Discipleship trainings, Spiritual formation and 2nd Generation Ministry. I am delighted with our team performance in supporting the establishing of Cantonese Ministry where I expect further consolidation and fruitful growth this year and beyond.
