Kings Cross Methodist Church
Since 1975 Kings Cross Methodist Church has delivered services in Cantonese. Chinese ministries were established by Revd Wong, a dedicated missionary sent from Hong Kong, with a focus on Chinese students.
Today, on Sundays there are three different services in three different languages: Cantonese, Mandarin and English.
As well as providing multiple language services, Kings Cross Methodist Church also host events for occasions such as Lunar New Year to share in food, fun and fellowship. A restaurant fellowship group regularly meet for Bible study.
