[SIZE="4"]1. Who is Jesus? 耶穌是谁？

Jesus is God the Son, who chose to be born and live a human life in order to suffer and die for the sins of those who would trust in him. He arose from the dead and promised eternal life to all who follow him by faith. He is eternal, he is perfect in every way, and all things were created through him.

耶穌是神的兒子，祂道成肉身，來到世上並為世人而死。祂從死裏复活，並应许永恆的生命给那些以信心來追隨祂的人。耶穌是永恆的，是完美無缺的，世上的一切事物是藉著祂而创造的。

2. What is the bible？ 什么是圣经？

The Bible is God’s revelation of himself to humanity. God’s Spirit inspired many people to write in a way that accurately tells us about God and about his will for our lives. It is divided into two parts—the “Old Testament” Which was written before Jesus was born, and the “New Testament” which was written after he was born. The Bible was originally written in Hebrew and in Greek, but has been translated into most of the world’s languages. Christians read and study the Bible in roder to know how to live according to God’s
will.

3. What is a church? 教會是什麼？

A church is a group of Christian people who have made a commitment to God and to one another to work together to carry out the commands of Jesus (to love God and to love our neighbour, and to be witnesses to people in our world).

教會是由一群決志追隨神，分享共同目標，实践耶穌戒命的基督徒组成 （爱神，爱人如己，並为神做见证）。

4. Why go to church? 为什麼去教會？

For Christians, the Bible tells us to assemble together regularly to worship and to encourage one another. In the Bible we learn that all of the early Christians worshipped together regularly. It is a time to worship God, to learn from the Bible, to encourage one another, and to pray together.

聖經告訴基督徒要定期聚會崇拜神，学习圣经，彼此鼓勵和禱告。從聖經中我们知道早期的基督徒就已经开始了定期聚會崇拜神。

5. Who may attend church services? 我可以參加教堂聚會？

All worship services at our church are open for everyone—we are glad to have guests and first-time attenders at every service.

教會歡迎所有的人參與崇拜聚會 – 我們很高興有機會來認識您。

6. What do we do in the church on Sunday? 我們星期天（主日）在教會做什麼？

In the worship services on Sunday, the first half of the service is a time of singing several worship songs (words are projected on a screen at the front of the Church), prayers led by the pastors, listening to the choir and/or soloists sing, and receiving the offering. No one needs to sing if they don’t wish to, nor are guests expected to give an offering. The second part of the service is a “sermon”—the pastor explains a part of the Bible and tells how to apply it to daily life. During the sermon, in another room there is an excellent program for children (age 4 to grade 5). For parents, there is also a nursery program for babies and toddlers (to age 3) during the entire service. Also on Sunday morning, there are many “Sunday School” classes—groups that learn together from the Bible. They are grouped by age, with classes for children, for youth, and for adults.

在主日崇拜前，我們教會為各個年齡段的人開辦不同主題的主日學課程，從中學習聖經 – 如少兒主日學，少年主日學和成人主日學。在隨後的主日崇拜中，前一部分是在唱詩班的帶領下唱聖歌，由牧師帶領禱告，和收取信徒的奉獻。唱詩和奉獻都是自願的，我們不要求來賓的奉獻。主日崇拜的後一部分是牧師的講道 – 由牧師講解聖經的一小段並指導我們如何的在日常生活中來應用聖經的話語。我們也在主日崇拜的同時有專門對於兒童的活動（4歲到5年級）。同時我們也對攜帶嬰幼兒的父母提供幼兒看護服務（到3歲），以便父母能有機會參加主日崇拜。

7 . What and why church offering? 什麼是奉獻，為什麼要奉獻？

Jesus taught his followers to be generous people who give to support the ministry of the Church and to meet the needs of others. Giving our offering is an act of worship (we believe that God is worthy of our offering), it is an act of faith (we believe that God will use our gifts to do his will, and that he will meet our needs when we give), and it is an act of selfless obedience (we believe that giving frees us from the selfishness that wealth can produce in our hearts). The offering supports the weekly ministries of our Church, it supports Christian missions around the world, and it helps people with physical and material needs in our city.

耶穌教導祂的信徒支持教會的事工, 對人慷慨無私, 幫助有需要的人。 獻上我們的奉獻是敬拜神的一部分，也是我們信心行為的一部分。因為神會用我們的奉獻完成祂在世上的計畫，神也會在我們奉獻的同時供應我們的所需。信徒的奉獻是用來支援教會每週的事工，世界各地的福音傳播工作及支援在本市需要幫助的人。

8. What is the difference between Protestant church and Roman Catholic Church? 基督教和天主教有什麼區別？

In the 16th century, many Christians became concerned with things that had become part of the Church that did not agree with the Bible. They chose to base their lives on the authority of scripture (the Bible) and formed what became Protestant Churches. Protestant Churches do not accept the hierarchical authority of the Roman Catholic Church (such as the Pope) nor do they follow the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church which are not based in scripture. For example, Protestants do not venerate Mary or the saints, or pray for those who have died.

在16世紀，許多的基督徒認為教會的一些做法不符合聖經的教導。於是祂們決定追隨聖經的話語建立了新教與原來的羅馬天主教會分離。新教教會不接受羅馬天主教會的管轄（例如教皇）也不認同羅馬天主教會中不出於聖經的傳統，例如新教教會不敬拜瑪利亞或是被羅馬教會承認的聖人，也不為去世的人祈禱。

9. What and why the Holy Communion? 什麼是聖餐？為什麼要守聖餐？

Communion (or “The Lord’s Supper”) is an ordinance of Christ, which means that Jesus commanded his followers to eat bread and drink from a cup (we drink grape juice) to help us remember his physical body and his shed blood. During the communion service, we remember his suffering and death and give thanks that our sins are forgiven. It is also a time for solemn examination of our lives to see if we need to ask for forgiveness or make changes that would please God. We observe communion on the first Sunday of each month during our worship service.

聖餐是耶穌的教誨，意為耶穌命令祂的門徒吃餅喝杯（我們教會用麵包和葡萄汁代替）來紀念祂被釘的身體和流的血。領聖餐的過程中，讓我們紀念耶穌為我們受難釘死在十字架上，為我們的罪因著耶穌的死而被赦免並獻上感謝。領聖餐也是讓我們反省的機會，檢驗我們的行為是否需要請求神的赦免並為了喜悅神而做出改變。我們教會是在每個月的第一個星期天的主日崇拜中守聖餐。

10. What and why Baptism? 什麼是洗禮？為什麼要受洗？

Baptism is the other ordinance for Christians—the other thing that Jesus commanded all of his followers to do. It is a symbol of the death of our old life and the beginning of a new life as a Christian. All who become Christians should be baptized, because it is a public witness that we have chosen to follow Jesus (and Jesus calls people to make a public commitment to follow him). In our Church, people are baptized by immersion—their whole body is immersed under water briefly in the baptistery that is located at the front of
the Church.

洗禮是耶穌對祂信徒的另一項教誨。對於基督徒來說這象徵著我們脫離舊的生命，開始作為基督徒的新生命。所有基督徒都應該受洗，因為這是對世人公開見證我們決定追隨耶穌，正如耶穌要求祂的追隨者所做的。我們的教會採用全身浸入水中的洗禮方式。[/SIZE]
