We have the following classes: Adult Cantonese classes, Young Adult Cantonese class, Adult English class, High School English class, Junior High English class, and different levels of Children classes (all Children classes are conducted in English). Cantonese classes meet at 9:30am, and English classes meet at 11:00am. Whenever we have joint worship, all Sunday School classes meet at 9:30am.
Fellowships
In view of Christian bonding as an important factor for mutual support, we have weekly Friday night fellowship meetings tailored for different groups. These fellowship groups are also viewed as a channel to reach out to new friends who may come to know the church more in a warm and friendly fashion. Most of the activities are designed to meet the practical needs of each particular group, and are scheduled to be at the church’s site, though there are times they are conducted off site. In general, all groups meet at 7:30pm every Friday. These different groups are described below:

Joy Fellowship consists of mostly Cantonese speaking adults with children. Most of them are immigrants from overseas and have children born in the States. Common struggles with cultural and generational differences these members face as they live in the Bay Area make this group unique.
