Ottawa Chinese Alliance Church History

Our History

It was in 1972 when Rev Jonathan Kaan and Rev Paul Lai visited Ottawa and felt the need to plant a Chinese church to serve the growing population. With much prayer and support from Hebron Church in Hong Kong, Rev Lai started the work with just himself and his wife. They worked hard, knocking on the doors of Chinese homes, striking conversations with people they met on the street, distributing tracts in Chinatown, and fishing with Chinese high school students with the hopes of befriending the community.

In less than a year, the church began its first service with fifteen people in the basement of the Central Alliance Church, whose members provided tremendous support. As OCAC continued to grow over the years, it was clear the church needed a permanent assembly place. In mid-1979, OCAC acquired an old primary school at 22 Eccles Street.

With its own building, the church grew rapidly. It attracted many foreign students in the early days and they became the pillar of strength in the church. Young, energetic, and active, they turned the church to a very active and lively place. As more people joined OCAC, new changes began to unravel in the1980's. Families came to Ottawa and brought along their children who grew up with English as a primary language. The church that was initially bilingual (Cantonese and Mandarin) realized that it needed an English-speaking ministry. The first English-speaking fellowship was formed in 1982.

The Lord continued to bless OCAC in the 80's and the congregation kept growing. By the end of the decade, it was evident that more space was needed to conduct worship services and Sunday school classes. The old school was then demolished and a new church building was constructed and completed in January 1991. In early 90's, more families were added to the church due to an influx of immigrants from Hong Kong and China. Since then, OCAC has planted 3 new churches to cope with the growth of congregation.

Today, OCAC provides services for three language ministries (English, Cantonese, and Mandarin) at the same 22 Eccles Street location.

渥太華宣道會歴史

當簡國慶牧師和賴建鵬牧師一九七二年探訪渥太華時,他們看到日益增長的華人人口,並感到迫切需要建立一所華人教會。經恒切地禱告,並藉著香港希伯崙堂的支持,賴牧師及師母毅然來到渥太華,開始他們在渥太華的事工。

他們為主辛勤工作,千方百計接觸華人社區裡的群眾 ,挨家挨戶進行探訪,也在學校及唐人街內接觸華人,連街上的路人也不放過。在短短一年內,渥太華華人宣道會便在Central Alliance Church的大力支持下,借用他們的禮拜堂開始了聚會。第一次聚會便有十五人參與。

在以後的幾年中,隨著教會的不斷成長,更有需要建立一個永久的聚會地點。到了一九七九年,渥太華華人宣道會在唐人街區內購置了一所已棄置了的小學作永久會址,這便是今天教會所在地。

教會自從擁有自置的會址後,繼續廣傳福音,不斷成長,在早期吸納了很多華人學生。這群年輕有活力的學生便>成為了教會的支柱,推動教會滿有主的生命力。直到一九八零年代,一些移民家庭連同他們年輕的子女定居渥太華,那時教會覺得有需要開展英語事工來照顧年輕的一代;這樣,在一九八二年便成立了第一個英語團契。

教會蒙神祝福,繼續成長,並且需要更大的空間容納不斷增長的會友人數。最終,舊小學被拆除,新教堂建築物於一九九一年一月在原址落成。在九零年代初,有更多從香港及中國的家庭移居渥太華,教會便開展了三所姊妹教會的植堂事工。

今天,渥太華華人宣道會繼續在唐人街原址發展兩文三語事工──中文、英文;英語、粵語及國語。
