“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Matthew 22:36-40
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
At West Sydney Chinese Christian Church (WSCCC) we value being active in obeying Jesus in the great commandment to love our neighbour (Matthew 22:39) and the great commission (Matthew 28:18-20). This reflects in all we do, and is seen in how we seek to share God’s love and truth, serving for the good of the community and the world – locally and globally.
Many individuals within the church are personally involved in or support a wide variety of projects helping those in need or reaching out with the message hope in Jesus – especially those in great need.
Some examples include local Christmas and Easter events, St. Paul’s Pantry, The Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, Summer Holiday Kids Programs, and Operation Christmas Child.
Our Missionaries
WSCCC is committed to bringing the love and message of Jesus to the world. WSCCC has a long and strong tradition of sending out its members to serve God cross-culturally. Below are some of the present members of our global team:
