Chinese Christian Mission

What Chinese Christian Mission does

Chinese Christian Mission (CCM; 中國信徒佈道會) is a US-based, non-denominational Christian faith mission organization founded in October 1961 by Rev. Thomas Wang in Detroit, Michigan. It is currently headquartered in Petaluma, California (1269 N McDowell Blvd; Tax ID 38-1842281), with a registered headcount of 11-50 employees. The organization operates under the strategic vision of "Reaching the Chinese to Reach the World" (福音傳華民, 恩澤遍萬邦), delivering Chinese-language Christian content and community services to Chinese Christian communities globally.

CCM's core offering is a multi-channel ministry platform combining print publications, multimedia broadcasting, and on-the-ground missionary and community services. Print products include the flagship 《中信》月刊 (Chinese Christian Monthly, with 50+ years of publication history, available in Traditional and Simplified Chinese, plus Mandarin and Cantonese audiobooks), the bimonthly 《傳》雙月刊, and the English quarterly Challenger. Digital distribution is delivered through ccmusa.org, the voiceofccm.com streaming platform (audio, video, and text daily devotionals), the 中信媒體 (CCM Media) mobile app on Android and iOS, an online Chinese Bible reader, a scripture search tool covering all 66 books, and a free e-book library covering theology and Bible study. Community-facing services are delivered through six US Gospel Centers (San Francisco, Seattle, Hawaii, South Bay/Cupertino, East Bay/San Leandro, and Houston) offering English/citizenship/computer classes, Bible studies, food distribution (e.g., ~350 low-income immigrants served weekly in San Francisco), counseling (曉君信箱), and online courses. Overseas missions are conducted through affiliated CCM branches in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, Macau, Australia, New Zealand, and mission fields in Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and Germany, plus short-term mission opportunities.

CCM is entirely donation-funded, with no commercial pricing. Contributions are accepted via PayPal, credit card (Square), Zelle, checks, bank transfer, stock/mutual fund transfers through Charles Schwab, estate/legacy gifts, and international bank drafts. All publications and digital content are provided free of charge. The organization operates as a 501(c)-style non-profit with no parent company, no outside investors, and no commercial revenue streams. Current General Secretary is Pastor Liu Yaoguang (劉耀光).
