Who We Are
At Methodist International Church, we welcome all who seek to experience God’s love and know Him better.
Whether you are new to Hong Kong or have lived here for years, you will find a warm and friendly community at MIC.
Statement of Faith
The Methodist Church claims and cherishes its place in the Holy Catholic Church which is the Body of Christ. It rejoices in the inheritance of the apostolic faith and loyally accepts the fundamental principles of the historic creeds and of the Protestant Reformation. It ever remembers that in the providence of God Methodism was raised up to spread scriptural holiness through the land by the proclamation of the evangelical faith and declares its unfaltering resolve to be true to its divinely appointed mission.
The doctrines of the evangelical faith which Methodism has held from the beginning and still holds are based upon the divine revelation recorded in the Holy Scriptures. The Methodist Church acknowledges this revelation as the supreme rule of faith and practice. These evangelical doctrines to which the preachers of the Methodist Church are pledged are contained in Wesley's Notes on the New Testament and the first four volumes of his sermons.
The Notes on the New Testament and the 44 Sermons are not intended to impose a system of formal or speculative theology on Methodist preachers, but to set up standards of preaching and belief which should secure loyalty to the fundamental truths of the gospel of redemption and ensure the continued witness of the Church to the realities of the Christian experience of salvation.
Our Beliefs
MIC 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 a journey of faith through:
Unity in Diversity
To be curious and open about each other’s cultures and to know and see each other as true brothers and sisters. To believe that, through our unity, MIC visibly and powerfully reveals the Kingdom of God so that many might believe.
Prayer
Creating a culture of prayer at MIC, seeking to undergird every action, decision, dream, and vision with prayer. To pray for the continuing renewal of MIC as a powerful catalyst for the renewal of our Hong Kong community.
Learning Together
To enable, encourage, and nurture discipleship through preaching, teaching, Bible study, small groups, testimonies, and service opportunities.
Caring for Each Other
To create a framework for Pastoral Ministry in and across congregations – developing mutual trust, sharing our stories, and entering each other’s lives in love and service – so that every person feels they belong to the MIC family.
Serving the City
To respond to the biblical imperative to be catalysts for the transformation of the whole world through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Stewarding Resources
To realise the essential role that finance, human resources, communication, facilities, technology, and administration play in the life of our church; to recognise these functions as ministry; and to appreciate the individuals who ensure that MIC ministries have the resources they need.
Celebrating God’s Love
To deepen our worship, strengthen our worship teams, and leave more room for the Holy Spirit so that we can get to know each other across the congregations, love each other more fully, and spend more time together as a church family.

Our History
From its beginning in 1851, MIC has been sharing the faith, caring for the community and standing for justice.
This started early with a commitment to serve sailors and soldiers. The Methodists built and ran a 100-bed hostel on the East Praya waterfront, now Johnston Road. Later it moved to Hennessy Road and became the Methodist Centre for Social Service. Methodists were involved in supporting an island leper colony and a home for orphans; started the Methodist Trust, which gives educational grants to young people; and supported Vietnamese boat people who were placed in camps in Hong Kong.
Sharing the faith and enabling people to grow in Christ has been at the heart of all this work, through midweek worship meetings, radio broadcasts, prison ministry and hospital visiting. In this diverse community MIC has deliberately sought to disciple and train people for Christian leadership in the life of the church and the city.
Our ministry to Filipino domestic workers goes back to the 1980s. This work has flourished with worship and fellowship in both Tagalog and llocano. MIC deliberately offers training in aspects of Christian ministry and in livelihood skills.
In 2013 a Putonghua Fellowship was established, thus developing the work of the church to cover nine congregations using four languages.
Praise God for all this ministry!
