Cantonese Worship Service every Saturday 1:30pm
每星期六 下午1點半 一起參與廣東話崇拜
flow church Manchester is a recently registered Non-profit organization in the UK that serves religious activities in Cantonese. We are one of the official ministries "outflow mission" of flow church Hong Kong which established in 2018. The character "flow" in our name embodies our faith philosophy — unconfined by traditional frameworks. We hold fast to the essence of the Christian church, building a church centered on life, action, and simplicity. In turbulent times, we strive to be a fluid and socially engaged community that is not defined by tradition, bearing witness to Christ in the society. Be water, my friend.
流堂曼城 (flow church Manchester) 是一個新近在英國註冊的非營利組織,以廣東話服事及推動宗教活動。我們是2018年成立於香港的流堂flow church的outflow mission事工之一。我們名稱中的「流」(flow),體現了我們的信仰理念 ─ 不受傳統框架所局限,我們持守基督教會的核心本質,致力建立一個以生命、行動和簡樸為中心的教會。在這個動盪的時代,我們盼望成為一個靈活而積極參與社會的群體,不被傳統所定義,並在社會中為基督作見證,如水般靈動。
The mission and vision of flow church Manchester is to advance Christian faith in accordance with the teachings of the Bible, upholding clear, ethical, and biblical principles. We gather regularly to worship God, grow together in faith, study His Word, and share His love with one another and with our wider community.
Recent years, a large number of Christians have left Hong Kong as part of the wider wave of emigration. We are thankful that many HK Christians who have settled overseas have found welcoming local churches and have become a blessing to Chinese churches and Christian communities in their new countries. However, many others have struggled to find a suitable church community where they feel they belong. As a result, some have gradually lost connection with church life and are no longer part of a regular Christian community. At the same time, many pastors who have emigrated from Hong Kong have found it difficult to find opportunities to continue their pastoral ministry overseas. Despite these challenges, they have not given up on their calling to serve God. Finding meaningful ways to continue their calling and pastoral ministry in a new country remains an important and pressing need.
Flow Church's outflow mission programme was established in response to these needs. Its original intention is to bring together Christians who have become disconnected from church, help them rebuild a sense of Christian community, and provide opportunities for pastors who have emigrated overseas to continue living out their calling through pastoral ministry. flow church in Hong Kong will support the establishment and development of these overseas diaspora groups, hoping that these groups will one day become independent church communities sharing the same pastoral philosophy as flow church Hong Kong. The flow church Manchester is a physical group that gathers weekly, participates in online worship services, studies the Bible, and interact with each other before and after worship.
流堂曼城 (flow church Manchester) 的使命和願景,是按照聖經的教導,傳揚及實踐基督教信仰,並持守《聖經》所肯定的明確而合乎倫理的生活準則。我們定期聚會敬拜上帝,並將上帝的愛分享給我們的鄰舍。
在移民潮下,大批基督徒離開香港。感恩的是,不少移居海外的香港基督徒已在當地教會扎根,並成為海外華人教會的祝福。然而,在這段流散的歷程中,也有為數不少的基督徒無法找到合適的信仰羣體,甚至因此停止了教會羣體生活。另一方面,不少移居海外的牧者,在異地未能找到合適的牧養機會。他們並沒有放棄呼召;如何在海外實踐召命,正是他們當下迫切思考的課題。
基於以上種種原因,我們聚集一羣在曼城未能找到合適羣體生活的基督徒,這正是流堂起初成立的初心,召聚離開教會的信徒,為他們重新建立信仰羣體,也為移居牧者繼續實踐上帝的召命,承擔牧養的職事。
香港流堂支援流堂曼城這些海外流散群體的成立與發展,期望這些羣體日後能夠逐步成為獨立的教會羣體,同時持守與香港流堂相同的牧養理念。
流堂曼城是一個實體聚會的信仰群體,每星期六下午一時半崇拜聚會,一同參與網上流堂崇拜、研讀聖經,並在崇拜前後及以外的時間彼此交流、分享及代禱,在主的愛裡彼此建立。
