Madison Chinese Christian Church

Around 1960, a dedicated group of students and families from Hong Kong and Taiwan started a Bible Study Fellowship in Madison, Wisconsin. They met on campus in the Union South Student Center (now demolished). As the fellowship grew, Sunday worships were started in a basement rented from the Luther Memorial Church on University Avenue.

MCCC was formally established on January of 1986 while still worshipping in the Luther Memorial Church. This was followed by the calling of the first pastor, Stephen Ho to MCCC in July of 1986.

As MCCC expanded in attendance, GOD opened up an opportunity for us to purchase our own building and moved into our current location in November of 1987. Generous no-interest loans by several brothers and sisters contributed to making this possible. Our location in the midst of campus is perfect for student ministry, yet proximity to the suburban areas means easy access to working families as well. Pastor Ho served in our new church till 1990.

In 1995, Rev Rolando Gan was called to serve in MCCC. The number of fellowships (meeting different language and age needs) grew to nine in 1999, and two pastors were recruited to join MCCC. Rev Gan and the two pastors left MCCC between 2003 and 2004. In December of 2008, Pastor James Chang was called to serve in MCCC. His ministry lasted till January of 2010.

By 2010, God’s providence is again at work at MCCC.
In May of 2010 we entered into a partnership with and has since opened our church to an English congregation (Providence Presbyterian Church, PPC) for English worships. This provides our second-generation children with solid gospel messages every Sunday as well as youth group nurturing.

In July of 2010 we started a monthly student out-reach program at our church, providing free lunches and a variety of short gospel, cultural or apologetic presentations to Chinese students and scholars.

In November of 2010 Rev Iho Tree was called to serve in MCCC part-time, to be converted to full-time in June of 2011. Rev Tree graduated from Denver Theological Seminary and recently Covenant Theological Seminary, with 9 years of intervening pastoral experience before coming to MCCC. Rev Tree is steeped in redemptive, Christ-centered theology, technically engaged to exploit internet technology for Kingdom work, and pastorally-minded to disciple future church leaders. His net is wide and deep.

MCCC is now driven by systematic teaching at the fellowship level and gospel preaching at the pulpits. The kingdom of GOD is thus being built up as commanded, through the finished work of Christ, by the power of the Word, and in attendance by the Holy Spirit. May all glory be to GOD!
