The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free. Luke 4:18
Kowloon Union Church is a Community of Believers. The church unites in fellowship Christians of differing traditions and nationalities to be renewed and empowered by the Spirit through our worship and service in the name of God and Jesus Christ.
Kowloon Union Church is a Prophetic Church. The church undertakes our responsibilities as members of society who take seriously the realities around us. As a community of faith grounded on Christ’s ministry of love, justice and respect for human and natural life, we speak and act to promote the justice and life of God’s Kingdom, which contravenes injustice and degradation of life.
Kowloon Union Church is a Servant Church. The church understands our mission to be both toward our members and toward the larger community of Hong Kong and Asia. We view this dual mission, not as a static role, but as a living role that grows and is transformed according to the changing needs of our community and the region.
Kowloon Union Church seeks to empower and enrich our faith community by planting and nurturing the seeds of the Holy Spirit for Christians of all ages, as we witness to the redeeming power of God’s love and grace.
We will strive to provide a hospitable worship environment for members and visitors by being conscious of the various gifts and needs of different cultural groups.
We will also seek to strengthen the bonds of fellowship in Hong Kong by expanding our relationship with other churches in the community, as well as by engaging in dialogue with people of other faiths and building relationships with them.
Kowloon Union Church endeavors to stand with those who are vulnerable in society and to care for all Creation. The church seeks to empower and serve the marginalized people of Hong Kong—our primary arena of mission—as well as others in Asia. We complement our empowerment of others by also sending our members out into today’s world to do the work of Christ in our homes and workplaces to the best of our ability.
As a faith community, we are committed to transforming our prayers into acts of compassion and acts for justice for all.
