Southwest Chinese Baptist Church exists to beat God\u2019s heartbeat for God\u2019s glory, church maturity, and Gospel priority.\u00a0\u00a0 Our pulse is to connect to God, to the church body, and the community. We are conveniently located off West Airport between 59\/69 and Beltway 8.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The answer lies in our name, \u201cSouthwest Chinese Baptist Church.\u201d First, we are \u201cSouthwest,\u201d in that we are committed to serving the people living in Southwest Houston. We are \u201cChinese\u201d in that we have ministered to mainly Cantonese-speaking at our founding in 1981. We have the most experience reaching out to Cantonese and American born Chinese (\u201cABC\u2019s\u201d), but our desire and priority is to welcome multiethnic diversity.\u00a0\u00a0 We are \u201cBaptist\u201d in denominational affiliation, and ascribe to the Baptist Faith and Message (1963).\u00a0\u00a0 Lastly, we are a \u201cchurch\u201d in that we believe, with all other Bible-believing, Gospel-centered churches, that God has saved us by grace through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ alone. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We are more than a gathering or a social club. We are created by God to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever, rescued by Jesus from sin, and called to spread His Gospel to all nations.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

On most Sundays, you will see people dressed from casual to business-casual. Whether you are wearing jeans, a full-on suit, cowboy boots, or anything in between, we warmly welcome you to worship with us. \u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our first priority is to see you connect to God. We know you want to hear what God says to you. To that end, we focus on everything around God\u2019s written, errorless, and authoritative Word, the Bible.<\/p>

No matter which congregation you attend, you will be warmly greeted and handed a bulletin, which describes the order of service. We typically start off with a call to worship, which is usually a short Bible reading to help us focus on God. Then there is corporate singing, in which we declare God\u2019s greatness and lift high the Cross of Jesus. After singing, church members worship through offering. As our guest, please do not feel obligated to give to SWCBC, and feel free to just pass the offering bag on. After special music or Bible reading, you will listen to the pastor\u2019s message, followed by prayer and a response song. The presider will give key announcements to connect you to the life of the church, and the pastor will close the service with a benediction, which is a blessing to remind us that we are to live for Jesus.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

One of our passions at SWCBC is for our children and youth. For children, we have a dedicated nursery and pre-K team that will help make your infants and toddlers feel right at home. For older children, we have age-appropriate worship and classes during both worship services. Youth (7th grade and older) worship together with the English congregation, then break into classes according to age. For more details on these ministries, see children and youth.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

First, worship regularly with us on Sundays. Through Sundays, you can connect with God, hear the preaching of God\u2019s Word, and meet the pastors and church members. Here at SWCBC, we share life together as a church family and desire to experience vibrant community throughout the week. If you are English speaking, check out our Community Groups, which are small groups who meet in various homes. Or if you speak Chinese, come visit one of our fellowship groups that meet either at church or in homes. To see a list of our weekly gatherings, take a look at our\u00a0fellowship<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
