Seattle Formosan Christian Church (SFCC) 西雅圖台語基督教會

In Oct 1969, Seattle Formosan Christian Church (“SFCC”) was founded as a bible study fellowship, holding weekend meetings at Japanese Congregational Church near International District in Seattle. Later we started to have regular Sunday worship with Pastor Ai-chi Tsai as the speaker and moved to University Baptist Church near the University of Washington.  In 1984, Pastor Joshua Liu joined the church as senior pastor, ministering the church for 23 years until his retirement at the end of 2006. From January 2007 to June 2009, Pastor John Chen is our Taiwanese Congregation Pastor. In July 2012, Pastor Ian Cheng joined the church as Taiwanese Ministry Pastor. The English Ministry was officially established in 1996, pastured by Pastor Solomon Liu. Over time, the English congregation has grown into a body not only of youths, but mostly of college-aged, career professionals and young families. In March 2007, Pastor Walter Chen joined the church as associate pastor, ministering English congregation. Our current church building was purchased In 1987, which can seat 300+.

On Sundays, SFCC has a Taiwanese worship service ( 9:30am-10:45am) and an English worship service (11:15 am-12:30pm). SFCC comprises of a Taiwanese-speaking ministry, an English-speaking ministry, and a Mandarin-speaking ministry. Mandarin Chinese and English translations are also offered during Taiwanese service. SFCC also serves a growing number of children and youths through the children ministry (bilingual English/Mandarin) and the youth ministry (English-speaking).

SFCC has several fellowships and small groups, children’s Sunday school and adult Sunday school to facilitate the spiritual growth of the members. The church has a good organization. Each deacon is faithful in serving the Lord and to the work assigned, in particular caring for new families and students. We sincerely welcome all those who plan to immigrate, to study, or even just to come to Seattle for a visit to join us in our worship services and enjoy the love and grace of God.
