A History of TAPC
In 1982,some Taiwanese families used a facility downtown
San Jose to worship God under the direction of Rev.K.T.Tsai.In
1983,with the leadership of Rev. Stephen Hsieh, they
moved to the Meridian Calvin Church and named the church
“San Jose Taiwanese-American Christian Church.”The purpose
was to spread the gospel to the Taiwanese community.
In 1987,the church moved to Homestead First Presbyterian
Church, where it was registered with the The Presbyterian
Church U.S.A. Rev. Andrew Tsai served as the first term
pastor. In 1991,as the members grew gradually,the church
was formally established.
Although Rev.Andrew Tsai resigned in June 2000,many
pastors Supported the church and the congregation never
ceased to hear God’s word. In January 2003, with God’s
blessing, Rev.Raymond Chao became the church’s 2nd
term pastor. TAPC is currently Located at 12850 Saratoga
Ave.The membership is approximately 130 people. Aside
from our regular Taiwanese and English wor-ship services,
the church activities include Children’s Sun-day School,
Adult School,Fellowship,and service to the Taiwanese
community.
