CCAC was started 35 years ago in 1972 as largely a student church, which was quite typical in the seventies. Due to the need for a more permanent place of worship, in 1974 God led us to purchase a church in Bridgeland. In addition to the students, there was also the explosive growth of the energy sector in the late seventies that contributed to a large influx of people moving into the city. In response to the needs created by the above, a building project was initiated in the late 1970’s.

In the Fall of 1981, we moved into our current church building, which has become a home where we can worship our Creator-God, have fellowship with one another, proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, and build up people to be a community of disciples of Jesus Christ. The early 1980’s was characterized by recession, high unemployment, high inflation, and extremely high interest rates. By God’s grace, we came out from the turbulent and difficult period of the eighties stronger, with greater ministries development and striving more vigorously in our evangelistic efforts. God carried us through various difficult situations and granted us strength in facing different challenges. We were united in our giving for our church mortgage and in commencing our growth plan through new church planting; our first new church was planted in 1988, a second new church was also grown out from us in 1991, and the third one emerged in 1993. We are grateful to God that our building mortgage was finally paid out in 1995.

Throughout the rest of the 1990’s and the early 2000’s, despite the various problems and challenges we faced, our church continued to be active in reaching out to our community through various means such as our Sunday Service, Sunday School, Fellowship, Bible Study group, Children Ministries, Chinese school, visitation, personal contacts, evangelistic meeting, etc. Our mandarin ministry started in 1996 with small groups, and in 1997 conducted its first worship service. In 2001, we adopted our first mission statement to affirm CCAC as a multi-lingual (Cantonese, English and Mandarin) church with multiple services for people of all ages and from all walks of life. We also collaborated with other churches and organization like CCM service centre in providing social services to the community. We committed to be more generous in our giving and more devoted in our prayers in regards to mission works. We have, by the grace of God, played a more active role in missions by sending both short-term and vocation missionaries from our church. We have also made efforts to support seminaries: providing seminarian internship opportunities for the training of God’s servants, and use our resources to help the poor and needy at home and abroad.

Today our church Sunday attendance is approximately 850 (365 Cantonese, 265 English, 120 Mandarin, and Children 100). In a sense, God allows CCAC to minister to a community of approximately 1000 people. We are blessed with tremendous gifts and talents and abundant resources. Since we are given much, we are also responsible for much.

卡城華人宣道會在1972年創立至今已35載，70年代的教會都是以學生為主要對象。因應需要一個穩定的崇拜地點，神在1974年引導我們購下Bridgeland的一所教會。除了學生的加入，再加上七十年代末期的能源工業急劇增長，吸引了不少的人移居本巿，因而開始建堂計劃。

1981年的秋天，我們遷入現在堂址。我們在這個屬靈的家敬拜創造的主、實踐肢體生活，廣傳福音；建立一個基督化的群體。在1980初期，卡城面臨經濟衰退；高失業率，高通脹，極高利率，都是當時社會的特性。但藉著神的恩典，我們不但渡過這場風暴，更能在疾風中茁壯成長，事工更大的擴展﹐為福音工作更不遺餘力。神拖帶我們經過不同的困境，並賜能力讓我們面對不同的挑戰。教會同心為著按揭，熱心奉獻，並以植堂開始教會增長的計劃，於1988，1991和1993相繼開展了三所分堂，見證著教會成長邁向一個新的里程碑。感謝神，本堂在1995年已將按揭全數清還。

縱然經歷九十年代末及二千年初的各種問題和挑戰，教會繼續活躍於社區外展工作，包括：主日崇拜，主日學，團契，研經小組，兒童事工，中文學校，探訪，個人接觸，福音聚會等。國語事工亦於1996年以小組形式開始，到1997年已有第一次國語崇拜。於2001年我們確立了教會的宗旨，那就是確認卡城華人宣道會是一所多種語言(粵語、英語、國語)的教會，為要服事不同年齡和不同背景的會眾。我們亦與其他教會和組織(如中信輔助中心)合作，為社區提供社會服務。我們願意為宣教事工更多奉獻﹑更恆切禱告。能更積極參與短宣工作或派出宣教士﹐實是祂的恩典。我們也盡力支持神學院：如提供實習工場給神學生和運用我們的資源去幫助本地或國外的貧乏人士。

今天，教會的崇拜出席人數約達850人，其中包括粵語365人、英語265人、國語120人、兒童100人。神藉卡城華人宣道會在社區服事近1000人。神賜予我們極大的恩賜和才幹，並豐富的資源；我們既已得著這厚恩，就當為這厚恩作出相對的回應。
