Sheffield Chinese Christian Church

Genuinely nice and considerate people here with an always welcoming atmosphere. Congregations are available trilingual--in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin. You will see how well SCCC maintains its infrastructure to ensure safety and durability.

We have known people from this church for decades and I occasionally preach here, so I am a bit bias. The congregation is split into Cantonese and English services. Generally, the former consist of the older generation and the latter younger (plus students and young professionals). It is a church of sound, biblical teaching and warm fellowship. Although called a Chinese Church, people of all colour, creed and beliefs (or none) are welcome.

Friendly congregation with dedicated leaders and pastor, as well as semi-frequent visiting missionaries from further afield. Lovely Hymes and the sermons are often good, especially by visitors who are often training at theology schools. Majority Chinese people, as you'd expect, from HK/Mainland China/Malaysia/Singapore. While I've only attended the English service once, there were local British and people of other ethnicities and I felt the church was inclusive to all, which is very nice to see.

There is a minibus available for free transport to the church, which is about 20-25 minutes walk from the city centre. The church congregation has grown over the years - The English congregation is currently mainly consisting of university students, with a group of working adults. The Chinese congregation is currently merged into one service (Mandarin and Cantonese). I have found over the 3 years I have attended the church, the fellowship can be very hard to settle into if you are not from Hong Kong because the majority of students are currently from Hong Kong and there is a barrier there. The fellowship can be inclusive if you manage to settle in. The church currently does not have a pastor guiding the church and is being managed by a committee of adult leaders. The sermons can be hard to engage with at times. The musical worship is generally more contemporary and less hymns are sung.

Great core group of leaders who work hard. Congregations/members who stayed for years are really genuine. They have a weekly Friday event who did a lot of outreach to university students.
