Current 当前
The church now serves more than 400 people in Brisbane region, mostly of Chinese ethnicity and descendants. Although still named Chinese Methodist Church, we welcome people from all background, ethnicity and native languages to join us as one body – the body of Christ. We have Sunday services and Sunday school every week, various fellowships to bond fellow christians together, cell groups and special classes to explore deeper in the Word of God.
