Our Church History
In 1985, a group of Christians from the Boston Chinese Evangelical Church saw the need for the gospel in Allston and Brighton, the second-largest Chinese community in Boston outside of Chinatown. So, they rented an American Congregational Church in Allston. On June 30, 1985, the Boston Chinese Evangelical Church branch was established and named Boston Western Evangelical Church.
The church became independent in 1986. To more effectively follow the mission of Jesus Christ, it joined the Christian & Missionary Alliance in August 1997 and changed its name to “Greater Boston Chinese Alliance Church.”
In 2000, the church purchased its property in Brighton and has been doing so ever since. In the local Chinese community, we actively carry out outreach work, lead people to the Lord, and witness the gospel’s power to change people’s lives. We continue to work hard to promote the Great Commission. Outside our home country, we participate in global missionary work and donate to the C&MA Great Commission Fund to support various missionaries, missionary organizations, and seminaries. The church also sent short-term mission teams to Panama and Brazil to assist local churches in promoting gospel ministry.
As we enter 2022, the church has received the vision of “becoming a bright lampstand.” It will strive to equip believers with biblical truth, strengthen relationships among congregants, recognize the truth of God, bring healing and revival amid the challenges of the global pandemic, and lead more people to the Lord. Since the end of 2021, under God’s guidance, the church has experienced the renewal of life and the revival. Praise the Lord!
