About Us
Good Shepherd hosts a new mission start congregation, Grace Lutheran Church. Through this wonderful partnership in ministry, we are able to see God's hand in blessing his people. Pastors Stephen and Emily Kung lead this ministry to reach out to Chinese Americans.
Here is a personal greeting from Pastors Stephen and Emily Kung:
Chinese Greeting:
在上帝的奇妙的帶領下，<信義會恩典教會>從2008年八月成立，在位於爾灣市中心的信義會好牧者教會中聚會，我們開拓的異象是「建立一間健康、宣教的教會」；目標是：健康生活、快樂服事、有效傳福音。因此希望能有效的發掘個人恩賜，有系統的建造門徒，鼓勵參與服事，展開社區服務，並且有效的向近處和遠處的人傳福音。我們希望與有相同異象的教會或機構策略性配搭，一同有效的完成主耶穌所頒佈的大使命。
如果您想問：恩典教會與其他教會有何不同的地方？
在「恩典教會」裡，您將會：
在主日聽到以你實際生活需要為中心、深入淺出的聖經真理與解經講道，幫助你積極喜樂面對每一天的困難。
有機會參加與生活社區專題課程，例如情緒管理、親子家庭、人際關係、活出你的價值..等系列成長專題，使你可以儲備處理困境的技能。
遇到新朋友，一群與你一樣渴望心靈成長的朋友。在活潑的現代敬拜詩歌
中，經歷上帝醫治更新的大能。
為您的孩子（兒童與青少年）在溫馨而被關懷的環境中成長而高興。
有系統的門徒訓練課程與門徒個人守望，幫助你與神建立紮實的信仰，與經歷喜樂的生活。
參與開拓教會、發展社區服事的機會，找到人生的意義與目標。
親愛的朋友，如果您沒有嘗過上帝恩典的滋味，或是還沒有固定教會聚會，如果您認同我們的異象，願意投入恩典教會的建造過程，我們熱誠地邀請您來看看，讓我們一起經歷主耶穌應許的豐盛喜樂人生。

English Translation:
With God’s wonderful guidance, we are happy to say that August marks the third year of Grace Lutheran Church. This is a church mainly for people with a Chinese background. Our vision is to build up a healthy mission church, to serve joyfully, and to share the Gospel effectively. Our goal is to systematically build up Christ’s disciples by finding each member's gifts and to encourage the congregation to get involved in ministry. We hope to reach out to the community around us as a church and to share the Gospel. We also want to cooperate with other churches and organizations with the same vision so we can fulfill the great commission effectively to all nations in the world.
If you ask: what are the differences between Grace Lutheran Church and other churches? At this church you can find:
- Bible-based sermons that are practical and can help you face the adversities in life with joy.
- New friends to grow alongside spiritually and a close-knit community of believers.
- God’s renewing and healing power in the contemporary worship.
- Joy in observing the spiritual growth of your children (who are administered to in Sunday school).
- Individual discipleship to help you build up solid faith in God.
- A meaningful life through participating in the pioneering of this new church.
Dear friends, if you have not experienced the grace of God and long for a community to help you with your walk, we warmly welcome you to join us. Together, let us experience a joyful and abundant life promised by our Lord Jesus Christ.
