Alpha Agape serves career people by providing an opportunity to share common experiences in work, relationships, and ministries. Many AA members are involved in ECC ministries and AA's fellowship provides a place for spiritual recuperation and renewal.

"The Ark" was originally the Young Adult Fellowship (YAF) at ECC. People in the fellowship are mostly young professionals & graduate students (20-something to 30-something) that come from Taiwan, China, HK, Canada, Malaysia (and of course, U.S.!) and sometimes even Japan & Korea - How is this possible? We are a bilingual fellowship - We often converse in English, Mandarin and some can speak Cantonese. Our Bible study is divided into English & Mandarin groups so that people can read & share in their preferred language. This is where bilingual couples (ex. one prefers Mandarin and one prefers English) can both participate in the same Bible study material without language barrier. Below you will find our little Blog site which keeps a good update of our current activities:
If you are interested in checking us out, please contact: Sebastian Tseng at seb.seattle@gmail.com (Membership) or Joyce Hodge at djhodge@gmail.com (Year 2008 Chair) ...and yes, we are both bilingual so you can talk to us in either Mandarin or English.

A large portion of the exodus from Hong Kong have taken up residence in the Seattle area. With our evenly distributed age groups, our excellent spiritual nurturing environment, and the diversity and cohesiveness of our fellowship, they find our Church very attractive. To reach out to these immigrants, we have developed a comprehensive outreach program to facilitate a nurturing environment for them so that they can worship in their mother tongue. Our aim is to encourage them to join other fellowships in our church that will best meet their needs.

Common Ground Fellowship binds the individuals in growth together into Him, through encouragement for accountability and serving each other with a servant heart through love. We encourage each other to reach out to touch people for Christ together, not just to the students of UW, but those we come into contact with in our lives through work or study, and those we outwardly seek, who have yet to come to know Christ.

Our mission supports ECC mission which is to love one another, learn and grow together, teach and equip one another, serve one another, and share the good news of salvation with the unreached in our communities and beyond--to the ends of the earth. Our fellowship focuses on the Mandarin speaking Chinese and carries out the church missions in the fellowship environment. People can be nurtured in God's Word, encourage each other, and grow together according to the fullness of God's promises.

The Family Fellowship fulfills the mission of building up the Body of Christ by serving the need of families. It helps husbands and wives to establish Christ as the Head of the family. It helps spouses to have harmonious relationships, and to help them in the parenting of children. We also train children in Bible learning and encourage fellowship and teamwork among the children. By building up Christian homes, with Christ as the Lord of the Family, the family can serve God together and can also serve together in the Church.

Another important function of Family Fellowship is to minister to and to build relationships with new families and converts. Our aim is to encourage them to join as members of ECC to enjoy the broader ministry of the church.

The Fruit Fellowship's mission is to encourage Christian singles and married couples without children who are at their mature age - ranges from 35 to 50 - to keep growing spiritually and to render service for the Kingdom of God.

The officers of the fellowship consist of Chair and Vice Chair who are elected by the members. Other members are invited to serve as coordinators of various departments including decoration, recreation, treasury and general affairs. The term for each position is one year.

The Joseph Fellowship is one of the ECC ministries serving families with similar background and interest in reaching out to friends and neighbors.

Five years ago, our Pastors were counseling some youths in our church and discovered that many of their mothers were single parents in need of support, encouragement, counseling and to be understood and accepted. After much prayer, the Ruth Fellowship was born.

Sisters Fellowship supports ECC mission to reach out to local communities, raising awareness and funds for Missions Committee in sharing the gospel to the unreached parts of the world.

The YAF serves as an extended ministry of ECC mission to give members the opportunity to practice teaching God's Word and to enhance personal growth in Christ among the brothers and sisters. It also provides a time in which members can be involved in sharing, encouraging, and supporting each other on their Christian walk. By the same token, we would like to make efforts to extend our fellowship of caring and love to other newcomers and nonbelievers.

The YSF mission reinforces the ECC mission through the teaching of God's Word and stressing the responsibilities of Christian youth within God's Family.

The Youth Fellowship comprises not just the kids, but the counselors as well. The counselors receive and learn just as much as they give to the kids. (1 Cor. 12; 1 Tim 4:11-12)
