About Richmond Chinese Alliance Church
Richmond Chinese Alliance Church (RCAC) is a multicultural and multigenerational church with an average weekend attendance of 950. Our church has a vision to be a missional community of God, growing towards healthy relationships, and deepening our spiritual life in Christ through worship. Our goal is to be united as one church lived out through five congregations (1 English, 3 Cantonese and 1 Mandarin). We desire to be transformed by Jesus and sent to impact our world with the Gospel. We are a family united in desire and joy to glorify God. (More information can be found at )

RCAC is currently in a season of intentional transition – preparing to search for a new Lead Pastor for the church as a whole. This is an exciting and transformative process as we seek God for renewal, health, direction, and ongoing spiritual formation. The leadership of the church is prayerfully discerning who we are as a church and who we hope to become in the years ahead as we faithfully pursue ministry in the Richmond, BC area. Each of the five congregations is led by a sincere, spirit-led pastor who together form an experienced, dynamic, and diverse pastoral staff team.

RCAC is located at 10100 No 1 Rd, Richmond, BC, in a multicultural residential community that is close to a vibrant tourist and local community of Steveston located in Southwest Richmond. Steveston is an upper-middle class established community in Richmond which has an even mix of local and immigrant families. The general population has a large percentage of Cantonese and Mandarin speaking residents.

RCAC initially started in 1977 as a Chinese-speaking congregation. The English congregation was born out of a need to serve immigrant families which now includes inter-generational families with strong ties to the children and youth ministries.

About the English Congregation and Ministry

• There is great opportunity here to implement creative ministries rooted in art and culture and rich theological teaching.

• We have an average attendance of 200 each week, made up of a large demographic of those who were raised in the church, in addition to the newcomers we welcome each week.

• The culture values intentional relationships over programs. We desire to know each other through fellowshipping in community groups; we try to keep our programs minimal but intentional.

• Our worship services place a strong emphasis on the Word. Our liturgy is centred on Scripture, with lyrics that long to capture the essence of theology. We value preaching that is rich with detailed exposition. We desire to really be centred on proclaiming the Gospel in every aspect of our worship gatherings and overall ministry focus.

• Current staffing for the congregation includes a Children's Ministry Pastor and a Youth and Young Adults Pastor.
