Hong Kong Fellowship

The Hong Kong Fellowship was established in Jan 2023 in response to the needs of a faith community for Hongkongers who live in Stockport. We started with three Hong Kong families and now have 80 members registered. Every 3rd Sunday afternoon of the month, we have a fellowship gathering at Edgeley Community Church. There is a different theme every month led by guest speakers. We start with a light lunch, then worship together, play games and have craft activities. We also share information and support each other.

Many of the members were already Christians in Hong Kong, some are new to the Christian faith, while others are searching for the meaning of life. Our youngest member is six and the oldest ones are over 70. We have a lot of talented people, including artists, musicians, cooks, teachers, and Christian leaders.

In addition, we organise a monthly social event. So far, we have had a music jam night, bowling, theatre show, exhibition, dim sum, film screening, and day trips.

Every Friday morning, we also run an English Workshop for our members to improve their English. It is run by one of our members, Ada who was an English teacher in Hong Kong. The class is mainly for beginners. We can have 15 people in the class. Once a term they also learn and practice their English outside the classroom, such as visiting a museum, train station or a shop.

We are very grateful to have the support from the Circuit and Caleb project to fund our fellowship for five years. As the group grows, we hope to explore ways for future development.

Successfully, we have received extra funding from the Regional Strategic Migration Partnership, BN(O) Hong Kong community grants, and organised a range of information and advice sessions as well as arts and cultural events in 2024.

We understand that for long term development, we cannot solely rely on the church or government grants, we must contribute through donations and find ways to raise money. We organised a community fun fair event and raised some money last year. We will do something different this year.

Please come and visit us. We would like to use our talents to build the church and community together with you!
