On January 5, 2025, the Chinese Christian Church of Greater Washington DC (CCCGW) held its annual deacon installation ceremony during the first Sunday service of the new year. In an atmosphere filled with prayers and blessings, the congregation witnessed a group of devoted servants accepting their mission to serve in God's house, committing to build unity with fellow believers and to serve one another.

This year, several deacons remained steadfast in their dedication to their respective roles:

  • Chairperson of the Deacon Board: Brother Steve Lee
  • Treasury: Brother Xingfu Chen
  • Training: Sister Ada O’Donnell
  • Maintenance: Brother Shao C. Yang
  • Service: Brother Kevin Yinong Wang
  • Ushering: Sister Xumei Ren
  • Caring: Sister Lin Xie

Their hard work over the past year has been evident, and they continue to shoulder both spiritual and administrative responsibilities.

Simultaneously, God has raised new servants to join the deacon team, injecting fresh vitality into the church:

  • Vice Chair: Brother Sixun Yang,
  • OB Secretary: Sister Grace Wang
  • Education: Brother Shu-peng Ho
  • Evangelism: Brother Jacob Zhigang Jia
  • Missions: Brother Xuelong Wang

May God grant them wisdom and strength, so that they may be full of grace in their service, leading the church to be rooted in God's word and to grow in love.

Looking back over the past year, we are filled with gratitude for the 2024 deacons' hard work and dedication in their respective positions, which have allowed the church to progress steadily in both spiritual and ministry aspects. As we look forward to the new year, we pray in unity, asking God to personally use the 2025 deacon team, making them a blessing to the church, bearing fruit in good works, and bringing about spiritual growth and revival.

May God lead this group of faithful servants to serve humbly in His temple, allowing Christ's love to shine through them into more lives. May we build together in unity, glorifying the Lord's name!
