Christ Evangelical Centre of Australia (CECA) began as a Cantonese speaking church in Carlingford in 2001. After two years God grew our church and we moved into our present site at 8/172 Rowe St, Eastwood, which is the old Eastwood Library, off Eastwood Plaza.
Once we moved to Eastwood, the English ministry began with a youth service and fellowship time. The English youth group, aka H2O+, meets evey Friday from 7 pm to 9 pm.
On 29th October, 2006, the Adult English service commenced at Eastwood in the old RSL hall. We have a children’s program for under 12s as well as small home group meetings weekly. In August 2007 we moved to the Macquarie Community Centre, but God kept us growing so now we are back in Eastwood. Now with the redevelopment of Eastwood Centre soon to start we have moved again to the Epping Uniting Church Building at 40 Oxford St Epping.
CECA is a Bible based church, committed to the message of Jesus Christ coming to save humanity and offering an eternally fulfilled life with God. We believe that Jesus is God’s only begotten Son, that he died for the forgiveness of sins, rose to life on the third day after his death, and will return to judge the world and restore creation in justice, wholeness and love. People will be excluded from this forgiveness and restoration because we have rejected Jesus Christ as the only God and chosen to ignore him in the way we live. We believe in the reality of eternal punishment for those so excluded.
But the good news is that forgiveness, restoration and wholeness is available to everyone who chooses to genuinely apologise to God, stop ignoring him and trust that he really does know the best way for each of us to live individually and together.
Because who we are as a community we believe that we are called to bring this message to Asian Australians to help them progress in their wholeness with God, with other people and with God
