About the Cambodian Ministry

The Cambodian Ministry was founded in June, 1975, when Cambodia fell into the power of the Khmer Rouge. First Baptist Church warmly welcomed the Khmer refugees who associated with the US ambassadors in Phnom Penh before the Killing Fields. Some became Christians and continued faithfully serving God in this church ministry. After the Khmer Rouge’s reign ended in late 1979, the refugees who survived came to this community and joined the church. Our loving God has a divine plan for the Cambodian people to worship and serve Him from this church ministry to Cambodia. We are grateful for the church’s vision, loving all people, and commitment to the great commission for His Kingdom.

The Mission of the Cambodian Ministry

In the Cambodian Congregation, after each member becomes a believer, they join the church's missions and firmly obey the great commission to share the good news from this community (Matthew 28:18-20). We believe in the unspeakable love of God, and for this reason, we desire to share His love with the world. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, God commands us to love Him first, and we take His Word seriously. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." (Deuteronomy 6:5, Mark 12:30-3)

Sunday School

We meet every Sunday from 9:45 – 10:45 am in Room 209 for Sunday school class. This is a core group of our congregation. We have Khmer authentic food that our members bring for breakfast before studying the Word. This fellowship group with social discussion is essential for us, but more than that, we deeply develop our spiritual growth with the holy scriptures led by one of the Khmer pastors or a key leader. We speak mostly Khmer, but English is part of our class as well. In each lesson, the teacher interacts with the students to gain a profound understanding of the scriptures and openly respect others' biblical perspectives. Yes, prayer is part of our relationship with God, allowing the students to lift one another in prayer.

The Worship Service

From 11:00 am – noon, we meet in the Rose Chapel for a worship service. There is a PowerPoint slideshow as part of our worship service. We joyfully sing praises in both Khmer and English versions. Bi-lingual is part of our worship service. An English message is preached by a church leader and a Khmer message by one of our Khmer pastors. Children and youth will join the English class and services based on age. We provide excellent teaching and fun elements in each class. When you come to the church, please visit our Welcome Center for more information about the children and youth ministry. 

Zoom Bible Study Service

From 7:00 – 8:00 pm on Wednesday, a Zoom Bible study is taught by one of our Khmer pastors. This online class allows us to have interactive discussions to grow our faith and biblical knowledge. We open our time with prayer for another. We designed a Zoom link for everyone to join this group quickly. We email and remind everyone of the weekly Zoom link and the worship bulletin so that you are equipped with the relationship with the church ministries.
