In 1979, BCEC moved into its new building at 249 Harrison Ave. and Pastor Fung became Senior Pastor, as Pastor Tan retired. Forty years later in 2019, our church is faced with many important decisions. We need to consider whether to sell 249 Harrison Ave. to allow the city to build a new school. We need to think about the future directions of our ministries in Chinatown and in Newton. We need to decide who should be the new Senior Pastor. In all these decisions that affect our future, we want to be united as a church to pray to the Lord to lead us and guide us. Here’s the link to the weekly prayer items.
1/1/2019, Tues, 10am-12pm at 120 Shawmut Ave. We invite you to begin the New Year in prayer for our church, the community, and the world. Parking is available (9am to 1pm) at the Herald Street garage for valid BCEC parking sticker holders. Temporary passes are also available at welcome table.
Mandarin (only) service is in Chinatown 249 Harrison Sanctuary at 7:15 pm; A bilingual service in Cantonese/ Mandarin is in Newton Campus with children program at 7:15pm.
Join us on Christmas Eve (Monday) at JQES auditorium in Chinatown. Doors open at 7pm. Parking is available (6pm to 10pm) at the Herald Street garage for valid BCEC parking sticker holders. Temporary passes are available at welcome table.

“Renewed Personality, Renewed Mission”(Gal 2:6-9)
Rocky Chan is the Pastor of Missions at the Oversea Chinese Mission church, located in the heart of Chinatown in Manhattan, New York. As a teenager growing up in church, Rocky avoided short term missions at all costs. But the Lord is good and funny and, in the 21 years he’s been a pastor, Rocky’s gone on a total of 30+ STMs. He’s convinced a believer’s spiritual growth is held back unless he/she participates in missions. Rocky and his wife Minna enjoy talking about God, laughing at memes, and good sarcasm. Even though they’re both New Yorkers, they lived in Boston when the Red Sox won the ’04 series.
