Our History

Chinese Faith Baptist Church (CFBC) was organized in June 1989, to serve the spiritual needs of the English and Cantonese population in the Portland metro area.

The church first met at the basement of a founding member in north Portland. A month later, Evangel Baptist Church was willing to be the host and implement the vision of having two churches in one building. The relationship between the two churches has been pleasant and God-honoring.

CFBC was welcomed into the fellowship of the CBNorthwest in March 1990. Worship services were conducted in English with consecutive (line-by-line) Cantonese interpretation. Dr. J. Carl Laney, professor at Western Seminary, served as interim pastor from 1991 to 1993. His student William Ki, former pastor's assistant in 1992-1993, became the church's first full-time pastor in September 1993. In the following years the church adopted the mission of disciple-making, defined its values, refined its structure and reached out to the community and beyond through various ministry programs and events.

Fellowship groups and small groups were launched to meet the needs of increased attendance.

In July 2003, Rev. Brian Gomes was called as an Associate Pastor to care for the English speaking congregation. CFBC reaches another milestone on September 12, 2004 by having two separate worship services: one in English and the other in Cantonese.
