Bilingual (Cantonese/English) Ministry:  Because our church was founded with the vision of reaching Cantonese-speaking people in South Orange County,  our Cantonese/English speaking ministry is the largest.  We presently have around 210 adults that attend our “bilingual” worship, and fellowship with us during the week.  Fellowships for our Cantonese/English speaking brothers and sisters range from College and Young Adults to Seniors.  We also have Cantonese/English speaking men and women fellowshps.  Pastor Chiu oversees this portion of our ministry. 

Mandarin Ministry:  After moving into our own Irvine facility in May 2000, we came to realize that many Mandarin-speaking families lived in the immediate neighborhood. In January 2001, we started a Mandarin Ministry with the support of lay brothers and sisters.  Currently, we have about 70 adults in our Mandarin Ministry, which conducts worship services and sponsors fellowships in Mandarin.  We soon will be searching for a new Mandarin Assistant Pastor.

English Ministry: Agape Christian Worship (ACW) was established in early 2002, led by Assistant Pastor, Rev. Darryl Fong, to meet the needs for an English-speaking ministry. ACW’s goals are to be a loving community, and live God’s truth in a contemporary and culturally relevant way.  Pastor Darryl also oversees our English speaking adult fellowships that include those that are single, married, and married with children.   Presently, our English Ministry averages 55 adults.

Youth Ministry: We began our Youth Worship Service (English)  in June, 2005, to better minister to our Junior High and High School Students. This ministry was at first supported by a part-time Youth Worker and many lay brothers and sisters.  In November, 2006, Pastor Tim Lum was invited to serve as Youth Assistant Pastor and oversees the youth worship and fellowship ministries. Currently, we have approximately 60 youths.  

Children Ministry: Our Children Ministry (English) is supported by Joni Lum, Children Minister, and many lay brothers and sisters.  Children’s Worship, Sunday School, fellowships, and training are attended by around 75 children, from Preschool through the 6th grade.  On Sundays and Fridays, our lay brothers and sisters also support a Nursery, which cares for our infants and toddlers.

Discipleship & Fellowship: Sunday School is held every Sunday.  Adult classes are held in Cantonese, Mandarin, & English.  Children & Youth classes (pre-school to 12th grade) are held in English.  Special Programs include Bible Buddies (2nd and 3rd grade), Bible Drill (4th to 9th grade), and Vacation Bible School.  We also offer ad hoc training according to identified needs and participate in many other training programs.  We believe the best way for people to be connected with one another is through fellowship groups.   We have groups that come in every shape, age, and style.  Most fellowships meet on Friday evenings. 

Music Ministry:  Magnifying God through music is an integral part of our church.  Our music ministry ranges from traditional to contemporary, from choir to worship teams, from instrumentalists to vocalists, and from adults to children.  Since the start, we have used our music ministry as an outreach vehicle.  Our annual Christmas Program has become a tradition and is well-known in Orange County.

Mission-Evangelism:  We support Southern Baptist Missionary efforts through regular contributions and through participation in special fund-raising events.  Our young adult / college fellowship groups regularly reach out to students at various college campuses in Irvine.  In 2004, we established a Mission Fund to provide some subsidy to encourage and support members who participate in short-term missionary efforts.  In addition, as a means to reach out to more people in this community, we offer a Chinese Language Program on Sunday afternoons.  This program includes Cantonese and Mandarin classes, and is in session from September through June.
