The New York Chinese Christian Workers Inc.was established in 1972 with the purpose of fostering connections, sharing information, interceding for one another, offering mutual encouragement, and seeking collaborative ministry efforts. Subsequently, recognizing the need of the Chinese churches in New York City to spread the gospel to the unreached, the association organizes an annual city-wide evangelistic crusade. Additionally, in response to the need for nurturing Chinese believers in New York City, the association conducts revival and spiritual enrichment conferences, training classes, edification courses, and special topic lectures. For the welfare of its members, seminars and retreats are also organized to further strengthen the quality of pastors and preachers. At the same time, the association extends its focus into the community, striving to exert positive energy among the community members.
 
 
To maintain the Chinese Christian Workers Inc.documentation, secure a permanent meeting venue, and accommodate pastoral staff, a fundraising campaign was initiated in 1997 to purchase a property. In November 2022, an ideal property was found, and through vigorous fundraising and borrowing, the property was officially purchased in March 2023. Currently, the Pastoral Staff Association still owes $150,000 to various churches and individuals from whom funds were borrowed, necessitating continued efforts to fundraise and repay these loans.

Leveraging the "51st Anniversary Thanksgiving and Vision Sharing Meeting cum Inauguration Ceremony," They once again appeal to our brothers and sisters who are kind-hearted and supportive of God's holy work, hoping that we can repay the debt soon and fully own this property. This is their sincere wish.
