We believe that the bible is God’s written Word and is therefore the basis and ultimate authority for what we teach and practise. As Presbyterians, we also affirm the teaching of the Westminster Confession of Faith as a sound expression of what the Bible teaches.
The Chinese Presbyterian Church has its roots in the work of the Presbyterian Chinese Mission begun by the Presbyterian Church of NSW in Sydney in the 19th Century.
In its early years, the work of the Mission was held in rented premises in 1884, in a house on the corner of Nithdale and Goulburn Streets, and later in 1889, in new premises on the corner of Elizabeth and Goulbourn Streets.
