Children’s Ministry Lead
Vision
Methodist International Church Hong Kong (MICHK) is a richly diverse Christian family seeking to be open to the leading of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. Everyone is invited to join us on the journey of faith through key strategic pillars: learning together, caring for each other, serving the city, stewarding resources, and celebrating God’s love.
The objective of the pillar “celebrating God’s love” is to deepen our worship, strengthen our worship teams, and leave more room for the Holy Spirit so that we get to know each other across the congregations, love each other more fully, and spend more time together as a church family.
