    About Richmond Chinese Alliance Church
    Richmond Chinese Alliance Church (RCAC) is a multicultural and multigenerational church with an average weekend attendance of 950. Our church has a vision to be a missional community of God, growing towards healthy relationships, and deepening our spiritual life in Christ through worship. Our goal is to be united as one church lived out through five congregations (1 English, 3 Cantonese and 1 Mandarin). We desire to be transformed by Jesus and sent to impact our world with the Gospel. We are a family united in desire and joy to glorify God. (More information can be found at

    RCAC is currently in a season of intentional transition – preparing to search for a new Lead Pastor for the church as a whole. This is an exciting and transformative process as we seek God for renewal, health, direction, and ongoing spiritual formation. The leadership of the church is prayerfully discerning who we are as a church and who we hope to become in the years ahead as we faithfully pursue ministry in the Richmond, BC area. Each of the five congregations is led by a sincere, spirit-led pastor who together form an experienced, dynamic, and diverse pastoral staff team.

    RCAC is located at 10100 No 1 Rd, Richmond, BC, in a multicultural residential community that is close to a vibrant tourist and local community of Steveston located in Southwest Richmond. Steveston is an upper-middle class established community in Richmond which has an even mix of local and immigrant families. The general population has a large percentage of Cantonese and Mandarin speaking residents.

    RCAC initially started in 1977 as a Chinese-speaking congregation. The English congregation was born out of a need to serve immigrant families which now includes inter-generational families with strong ties to the children and youth ministries.
