From its earliest days, the Presbyterian Church in Chinatown has been a social hub vested with the hopes, disappointments, and visions of a community.  It has been a place where individuals connect with one another, and within it people have found reminders of their culture, help in times of need, and friendship to multiply the joys in their lives.  More than simply an institution, the church has been a repository of a community’s memories and has sought to be true to its theological affirmation that a church is not the building it occupies but the people it embraces and the relationships they form.
