These community groups are organized by the church, using church facilities, but with outside teachers or coaches, who may or may not be related to the church. The idea is to encourage people in the local community and church members to attend the classes together. The students usually pay … Continue reading Advent Church and St. John’s Cathedral, Taipei 成果發表會 Show Time!
