Deacons
2027 Crosspoint Deacons.
Chris Chan
我在大學期間信主，當時與兩位基督徒同學同住一間公寓。他們邀請我參加校園團契，在那裡我經歷了上帝慈愛的恩典。我在1996年受洗。
我在2008年開始參加匯點教會，大約在Milpitas 教堂購置的時候。能親眼見證上帝如何透過審批過程祝福教會，以及會眾如何團結一致為祂的國度成就大事，這是一份莫大的恩典。
在匯點點教會的這些年來，我一直於敬拜事工中服事。能與如此忠心且滿有才華的弟兄姊妹同工，我感到無比蒙福。
2021年底，招牧師邀請我們協助植堂San Leandro 分堂。從那時起，我在那裡帶領敬拜及管理敬拜隊事務。很感恩能親眼見證粵語會眾增長，以及國語和英語堂務的拓展。

我在 1991 年信主，並於 2000 年加入匯點，成為建堂團隊的一員。 我目前在 Milpitas 分堂的 GUM 事工服事，同時也是匯點章程修訂委員會的成員。
Lora Chieng
我於2004年開始在匯點聚會，這是我人生中的轉捩點。面對疾病與死亡，上帝賜我新的生命，徹底改變了我的內心與人生方向。透過聽道、聖經話語的引導和思考，我終於理解了耶穌基督無條件的愛，以及祂在十字架上為我們的罪所做的犧牲。 同年12月，我受浸歸主，從此開啟了我在匯點教會與神同行的新生活，找到了屬靈的家。
藉著參與小組團契, 青年事工及家庭事工的服事，我深刻地體驗到神的同在，信心與靈命也得到成長，使我與神的關係更加親近。在服事中，我也真切經歷了服事他人的喜樂和豐足。
目前，我參與了Milpitas堂會的Grow Ministry，致力推動聖經課程、個人靈修與靈命裝備。
成為執事不只是一個頭銜，更是一份真實且沉重的呼召和責任。以謙卑忠心服事為本，與牧師同心協力，共同推動教會各項事工，維護教會的和諧與秩序，並以基督的愛關顧弟兄姊妹，扶助軟弱的人，並活出主的愛。
我深知自己有許多不足之處，無論能力與靈命，都需要不斷成長。唯有依靠主的恩典，我才能迎接這呼召。
祈求天父賜給我一顆謙卑和忠誠的心，引領我們建立這屬靈的家園，並幫助我們彼此相愛，榮耀祂的名。
Attending Crosspoint Church in 2004 marked a turning point in my life. Facing illness and death, God granted me new life, transforming my heart and the direction of my life. Through listening to sermons, learning Scripture, and meditating on God’s Word, I finally came to understand the unconditional love of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made for our sins on the cross. In December 2004, I was baptized and began a new life walking with God at Crosspoint Church, my spiritual home.
Through serving in life group fellowship, youth ministry, and family ministry, I deeply experienced God’s presence.
My faith and spiritual life grew, drawing me into a closer relationship with Him. In the midst of serving, I also found the joy and abundance that comes from serving others.
Currently, I am involved in the Grow Ministry at the Milpitas campus to promote Bible courses, personal devotional life, and spiritual formation for the church members.
To be a deacon is not merely a title, but a real and weighty calling and responsibility. It requires faithful servitude, unity with the pastors for church ministries, harmony within the congregation, care for brothers and sisters with the love of Christ, support for those who are weak, and living out the Lord’s love.
Even though I strive to fulfill the calling of the Lord in my daily life, I am fully aware of my many shortcomings. Both in ability and in spiritual maturity, I recognize I am in constant need of growth. It is only by relying on the grace of the Lord that I can rise to meet this calling.
I pray that our Heavenly Father would grant me a heart of humility and faithfulness, guide us to build this spiritual home, and help us love one another to glorify His name.
Raymond Tang
我的名字是 Raymond Tang，我與妻子 Connie Chiu 和女兒 Amelia 同住。1991 年，在父親因癌症去世後，我接受了基督。我的父親是個無神論者；然而，在他生命的最後時刻，他閱讀了許多關於宗教與靈性的書籍。他在尋找死後會發生什麼事的答案。雖然當時我不知道他是否找到了所尋求的答案，但我意識到，如果父親正在追尋人生的意義，我不該等到年老才這麼做。我覺得自己應該立即開始尋找那些答案。
就在那時，我第一次嘗試向耶穌禱告，求祂為我這個尋道者打開一扇門。我相信，上帝在我父親離世之前就已經計劃好了我的救恩。那時我認識了許多基督徒朋友，他們帶我去了教會。我就是這樣認識了耶穌和祂的救恩。父親去世後不久，我邀請耶穌進入我的生命，與朋友們加入了一個團契，並開始定期參加主日崇拜。
大學畢業後，我在一個教會家庭中受洗，並開始穩定地服事上帝。我特別感受到教導聖經查經的呼召。Connie 與我結婚後，我們開始尋找新的教會，並於 2009 年找到了 Crosspoint。從那時起，我便一直在那裡擔任聖經查經教師。目前，Connie 和我是 Pleasanton 堂的會友。Connie 在兒童事工中服事，而我則帶領查經班。我很榮幸被提名為教會執事之一。在大家的支持與聖靈無盡的引導下，我希望能幫助 Pleasanton堂成長，並堅固我們的教會肢體。
自去年以來，Pleasanton 校區流失了許多會友。我從上帝那裡領受了一個特別的呼召，就是要確保我們的教會仍然是會友——特別是兒童——能夠在屬靈上成長的「安全之地」。我相信上帝的話語不僅是基礎知識，更是一條道路和一盞明燈，引領我們歸向祂。作為一名查經教師，我希望成為一個管道，將聖經中真理的話語帶給校區裡的每一個人，讓我們都能每一天更加認識上帝。

My name is Raymond Tang, and I live with my wife, Connie Chiu, and our daughter, Amelia. I accepted Christ in 1991 following my father’s death from cancer. My father was an atheist; however, during the final moments of his life, he read many books related to religion and spirituality. He was seeking answers about what happens after death. Although I did not know then whether he found the answers he was looking for, I realized that if my father was searching for the meaning of life, I should not wait until old age to do the same. I felt I should start seeking those answers immediately.
That was when I first tried to pray to Jesus, asking Him to open a door for me as a seeker. I believe God had planned for my salvation even before my father’s passing. I met many good friends who were Christians at that time, and they brought me to church. That is how I came to know Jesus and His salvation. Shortly after my father’s death, I accepted Jesus into my life, joined a fellowship with my friends, and began attending worship services regularly.
After I graduated from university, I was baptized into a church family and began to serve God regularly. I feel a particular calling to teach Bible study. After Connie and I married, we began seeking a new church and found Crosspoint in 2009. I have been a Bible study teacher there ever since. Currently, Connie and I are members of the Pleasanton campus. Connie serves in the Children’s ministry while I lead Bible studies. I am honored to have been nominated as one of the church deacons. With your support and the unending guidance of the Holy Spirit, I hope to help grow the Pleasanton campus and strengthen our church body.
The Pleasanton campus has lost many church members since last year. I have a special calling from God to ensure our church remains a “Safe Place” for members—especially children—to grow spiritually. I believe God’s word is not just foundational knowledge, but a pathway and a light to lead our way to Him. As a Bible study teacher, I want to be a channel for bringing the word of truth from the Bible to everyone on the campus, so we can all know God a little more every day.
Cissy Wan
我在香港高中時期因同學邀請參加了一個佈道會而接受了基督。當時的我其實並不太清楚自己所相信的是什麼也不完全明白跟隨基督的真正意義。移民到San Francisco後, 我參加了大學團契並開始逐漸認識神。
我和Sam結婚後搬到 Milpitas, 我們尋找附近的教會而認識了Crosspoint。我們從2004年開始參加Milpitas聚會, 也加入了夫婦小組。原本只是一間鄰近的教會，漸漸地成為我們的第二個家。這個家讓我在服事中經歷神的信實,帶領及供應。
透過在 Milpitas分堂參與兒童事工及青少年事工的服事，我的信仰和屬靈生命都得到很大的成長。透過這些服事的機會，神不斷教導我如何去愛人、服事人，並鼓勵他人。目前我正在青少年事工委員會服事, 主要協助Pastor Caleb在青少年事工上的發展, 幫助我們的青年人在信仰中成長。
I accepted Christ in high school after my classmates invited me to an evangelical meeting in Hong Kong. At that time, I did not fully understand what it meant to follow Christ or what I truly believed. After immigrating to San Francisco, I joined a college fellowship and began learning more about God.
After Sam and I got married, we moved to Milpitas and found Crosspoint Church. We began attending Crosspoint and joined a couples group in 2004. What first began as a nearby church gradually became our second home and a place where I have experienced God’s faithfulness, guidance, and provision through serving.
Serving in the Children’s Ministry and later in the Youth Ministry at the Milpitas campus has deeply strengthened my faith and spiritual life. Through these opportunities, God has continued to teach me how to love, serve, and encourage others. I am currently serving on the Youth Committee team, supporting Pastor Caleb in helping students grow in their faith and relationship with Christ.
Phyllis Yau-Chan
我在中學時期信主，當時不太清楚信什麼。
信主後因進修、工作及移民等人生階段的轉變，未能積極投入教會生活。
後來在芝加哥生活期間，因著兒女成長的需要，再次回到教會聚會。在那段時間裡，神一步一步帶領我們一家重新建立屬靈生活。
其後從芝加哥搬到加州時，更深經歷到神的恩典與保守，也重新燃起我對信仰的追求和服事的心志。
我從前教會溶入匯點。自匯點教會在Pleasanton成立以來，一直在此聚會，並感恩能與弟兄姊妹一同成長、學習及服事。主要待奉是小組組長和GUM.
我堅信馬太福音6:33「你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了 」.
盼望未來能繼續在教會中忠心事奉，回應神的恩典與帶領。
I came to faith during my secondary school years, though I didn’t fully understand what I believed at the time.
After becoming a Christian, life transitions like further education, work, and immigration pulled me away from active church involvement.
Later, while living in Chicago, my children’s growth brought me back to church. During that season, God led our family step by step back into a spiritual rhythm.
When we moved from Chicago to California, I experienced God’s grace and protection in deeper ways. That season rekindled my pursuit of faith and my desire to serve.
I came from a previous church and found my home at Crosspoint. Since the Pleasanton campus was established, I’ve been part of this congregation, and I’m grateful to grow, learn, and serve alongside brothers and sisters here. My main areas of service are as a small group leader and in GUM.
I hold firmly to Matthew 6:33: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
My hope is to continue serving faithfully in this church, as a response to God’s grace and leading.
Lawerence Yeung
我出生於香港，我的家庭沒有任何宗教信仰。我第一次接觸基督教，是在學校的聖經課中。少年時期我對物理和高等數學特別有興趣，所以我一直深信科學與宗教並不能很好地融合。雖然我相信有神的存在，但並不想與祂有任何關係。
1985年，我隨家人移民到美國。大學畢業後，我開始從事韌體(Firmware)工程師的工作。在那段期間，我認識了一位基督徒同事，我們經常談論基督教。透過這些交流，我開始對聖經產生興趣。當我閱讀聖經之後，我深深確信，它所啟示的神是真神，是宇宙的創造主，因此我願意跟隨祂，接受基督成為我的救主。因著我與聖經之間特殊的緣份，學習遵行神的話語成為我人生的目標，盼望每日更像主多一些。神亦給我機會接受神學院的裝備，使我能更深入地明白和詮釋聖經。這是一段非常寶貴的旅程，我由衷地感謝祂。
我自2000年開始在 Milpitas 的 Crosspoint 聚會，並自2024年起在 San Leandro 分堂服事。因著我對聖經的熱愛，我事奉的重點是幫助弟兄姊妹明白並遵行神的話語，使我們不會在這個充滿動盪與不合聖經教導的世界影響下漸漸偏離真道。我曾帶領許多查經小組，最近也完成了舊約概論課程的教學。目前我正在 San Leandro 教授新約概論課程。此外，我也曾在 Milpitas總堂擔任 Brick Group（國際大學生團契）的導師長達十二年。
I was born in Hong Kong, and my family did not have any religious beliefs. My first exposure to Christianity came through Scripture classes at school. During my teenage years, my main interests were Physics and Advanced Mathematics. My conviction was that science and religion did not mix well. Although I believed there was a God, I did not want to have any involvement with Him.
In 1985, my family and I immigrated to the United States. After graduating from university, I began working as a firmware engineer. During that time, I met a Christian colleague, and we had many conversations about Christianity. Through those discussions, I became interested in the Bible. After reading it, I became convinced that the God revealed in Scripture is the true God, the Creator of the universe, and I desired to follow Him.
On a very special occasion, I accepted Christ as my Savior. Because of my personal experience with the Bible, learning and obeying God’s Word has become my life goal. My wish is to be more Christ-like day by day. God also gave me the opportunity to receive seminary training so that I could better understand and interpret the Bible. This has been a precious journey for me, and I thank Him wholeheartedly for it.
I have attended Crosspoint since 2000 in Milpitas and have been serving at the San Leandro campus since 2024. Because of my love for the Bible, the focus of my ministry is helping brothers and sisters understand and obey God’s Word so that we will not drift away amid the turmoil and unbiblical influences of the world. I have led many Bible study groups and recently finished teaching a course on the Old Testament Survey. I am currently teaching a New Testament Survey course at the San Leandro campus. I have also served as the coach of the Brick Group (a life group for international college students) in Milpitas campus for 12 years.
