CCCNJ History
 |
| 1964 | Three families (the Hsu’s, the Eng’s, and the Liang’s) started a family Bible study group in North Jersey. |
 |
| 1965 | A monthly family worship started in East Orange, attracting many international students from Taiwan and Hong Kong. | |
| 1967 | Changed the monthly worship to bi-weekly based on the increasing number of attendants. Started Children’s Sunday School. Named the group Chinese Assembly of Christ, the first Chinese Christian church in New Jersey. |
|
| 1970 | Changed the English name to Chinese Christian Church of New Jersey. Leased Crossroad Church in East Orange for Sunday services. | |
 |
 |
| 1972 | Founded CCCNJ Chinese School, the first Chinese School in New Jersey. |  |
| 1973 | Youth fellowship established. | |
| 1978 | Purchased and repurposed an elementary school building in Pine Brook as the new church building. Started English Youth worship services. | |
| 1979 | More than 100 church members attended the Pine Brook Church dedication. By this time, the church has youth fellowship, children’s ministry, several adult Bible study groups, and gospel outreach ministries. | |
|
 |
| 1983 | Due to the rapid growth of our ministries, the small church building was no longer sufficient. A “Church Building Commitee” was established to look for new church location and related matters. |  |
| 1986 | The Pine Brook church was sold around the same time God provided 5.5 acres of church land in Parsippany. | |
| 1987 | The new church construction started. We temporarily rented facilities at United Methodist Church for all services each Sunday afternoon. | |
|
 |
| 1990 | The church construction was finally completed. With hearts of thanksgiving, we dedicated the building to the Lord for His ministry. |  |

We are thankful to God’s leading in the past 50 plus years. All glory be to our God! We sincerely welcome more followers to join us, to experience together God’s guidance, grace, blessings, and to pass on God’s love to others!
