About Us...

Taipei International Church (TIC) is an evangelical interdenominational congregation of believers from many different countries and Christian backgrounds. At present, our Sunday morning attendance numbers in excess of 300 people. The afternoon Filipino worship consistently averages 60 - 70 people. TIC has a longstanding tradition of ministry and service to the city of Taipei. We began as a church in the mid-1950's, when a group of expatriate business people, missionaries, and military personnel saw the need for an English-speaking church to serve the needs of the foreign community in Taipei. From that time on, although TIC has continually experienced change and turnover in its constituents, we have maintained a constant gospel witness and presence in Taiwan. Our ministries and outreach have expanded year by year.

A key word that describes our church "flexibility". TIC is constantly prepared to change its focus in order to meet current demands. At the same time, we continue to maintain a firm commitment to the treasured basics of the Christian faith. TIC does not own any buildings or land in Taipei. Our ministry center/church office is a rented facility. All. weekday ministries take place in this location. Our Sunday school, worship service and Filipino worship are all held on the Taipei American School campus.

The TIC professional staff is composed of a Senior Pastor, two Associate Pastors, one Tagalog (Filipino) Ministry Director, two full time secretaries, and a part-time accountant. The Senior Pastor is in charge of the general direction of the Church, office personnel, and day-to-day operation of the church. He is also responsible for planning and conducting the Sunday worship service, overseeing the various ministries of the church and, in concert with the Board of Elders, responsible for Church vision and direction. The Associate Pastor for Youth and Young Adults works under the leadership of the Senior Pastor to plan, guide, implement and direct the ministry of the youth and young adults of TIC. The Associate Pastor for Tagalog Ministry also works under the leadership of the Senior Pastor to plan, implement, and direct the church's ministry to the Filipino community in Taipei. He is in charge of planning and leading a separate afternoon Tagalog language worship service. The Ministry Director of the Tagalog Fellowship works directly under the supervision of the Associate Pastor for Tagalog Ministry.

The Sunday morning worship services at TIC strive to be a careful blending of old and new, traditional and contemporary. Our music worship is a combination of praise songs and older hymns. We have an instrumental ensemble that begins our service each Sunday morning. The preaching is Word-centered and expository in nature. There is an occasional altar call for anyone wanting to respond to the message. There are always members designated to assist in prayer ministry after the conclusion of the worship service.
