能夠有機會於曼哈頓下東城的中心地帶參與兒童及家庭事工，會否讓你感到很興奮？我們的社區有著不同群體的組合，有來自中國的移民(語言是廣東話、普通話及福建話)，也有說西班牙語的移民，更有近二、三十歲出頭的年輕一族。我們的教會，紐約華人宣道會(“NYCAC”)，成立於五十年前，並已發展成為一間多元群體的教會：不同年代出生，來自不同地區(本區及跨區)，我們有三個不同語言的會眾：英語、廣東話及國語。

我們會眾的基礎是家庭，過去是這樣，將來都會是一樣。兒童及家庭事工是我們(NYCAC)其中一個主要的事工，我們盼望透過外展事工，可以服事本區和跨區的兒童和他們的家庭，讓他們認識一間以神的話語為中心、單一以神的話語為真理依據的教會，並且讓這間有愛和關顧的真確的教會可以成為他們屬靈的家。

Would you be excited by an opportunity to work with children and families in the heart of the Lower East Side of Manhattan? Our neighborhood is an eclectic mix of Chinese immigrants (speaking Cantonese, Mandarin and Fujianese), Spanish-speaking immigrants and diverse Gen-Z-ers and Millennials. Our church, the New York Chinese Alliance Church (“NYCAC”), was established 50 years ago and has developed into a multi-generational church with local and commuter communities with an English-speaking congregation, a Cantonese-speaking congregation and a Mandarin-speaking congregation. Families have been and will continue to be the foundation of our congregations. NYCAC’s Children’s and Family Ministry is one of its key ministries, seeking to reach out to and serve the children of our local and commuter communities and their families and provide them all with a true and hospitable church home that is centered on the Word of God as its only source of truth.
