Journey of our Church
|
|
In 1990, Pastor Tuan Phan, who was taking care of a Vietnamese Baptist church in San Leandro, East Bay was invited to preach at
a Presbyterian church in Sacramento. There he met Ms. Hoang Dang and married her in 1992. In 1993 Pastor and Mrs. Tuan Phan started
the Vietnamese Baptist Mission aiming at fulfilling the physical and spiritual needs of the growing Vietnamese community. With waves
of Vietnamese refugees coming to Sacramento, the Vietnamese mission worked closely with organization like World Relief and USCC to help
settle Vietnamese new comers. The mission grew and took on the name Vietnamese Hope Baptist Church. Through the years, the church served
the community through many free programs like ESL classes, Citizenship classes, Computer classes, Guitar classes, Homework tutoring, school
readiness programs, interpretation at government agencies and hospitals. Right now, we offer free tax return help, community service
opportunities, adult and youth counseling. During the period of 1994-2013, we were not homeless, but were under the sponsorship and
support of our 3 sister churches: New Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, Fourteenth Avenue Baptist Church, and Laguna Chinese Baptist Church.
Realizing the need to be independent, to prepare for the younger generation, and to be more effective at serving the community, Pastor Tuan
Phan led the church to build our own church facility. Our church purchased this land in December 2008, and through faith we took the journey
to apply for permit, and to start construction in May 2013. We see clearly how God orchestrated the whole construction process from start
to finish. He provided people with special skills to help us at each stage of the construction. We appreciate our pastor for his vision
and leadership. We appreciate all the people who donated their time, talent, and money to help us build this church facility. On July 23rd,
2014, our church passed all final inspections and can legally occupy. Today’s Grand Opening / Dedication Ceremony marks the new chapter in
our church history full of hope. God was faithful and is still faithful. We trust that God will help our church grow and be more effective
in serving the physical and spiritual need of our community. Thank you for all your support and best wishes. May God bless you all.
