Church Website

The Bread of Life Christian Church in Washington DC was established by ROLCC in 2001. In the summer of 2000, Pastor Tong visited Maryland where he attended graduate school, held bible study, and participated in church service. He met with some Christians who have experienced renewal in the Holy Spirit and were longing for church revival. They were very much in agreement with the vision and the mission of River of Life Christian Church. As a result, they started to build local cell groups. Afterwards, God led Pastor Yinan Hu to know Pastor Tong. They received the confirmation from God’s word after a period of prayer and seeking, consequently, Rev. Hu accepted the invitation to establish the church named Bread of Life Christian Church in Washington DC in July 2001. Even though they have experienced some difficulties and challenges, by the grace of God, they have continued to grow while bringing the Lord’s blessing and love to the entire community Pastor Hu decided to take a break so he resigned from ROLCC DC. We pray for God’s continual leading in strengthening the brothers and sisters in the church to move forward in unity. May the adults, young adults, youths and children all experience God’s great power and have deeper love for the Lord and the people. May the church experience revival and spur the revival in the Washington DC area. May they carry forth their special mission from God.

「大華府生命河靈糧堂」是由「矽谷生命河靈糧堂」2001年所拓植。在2000年夏天，劉彤牧師來到他曾經求學、創建馬利蘭州立大學查經班、並參與教會服事的馬利蘭州造訪。當時有一些被聖靈更新且期待教會復興的基督徒們正迫切的禱告，經過劉牧師的異象傳遞而同心委身於靈糧世界佈道會的異象與使命。也就在第二十世紀結束的前夕，神奇妙的帶領胡貽難牧師與劉彤牧師相識，經過禱告尋求，在得到神話語的印証後，胡牧師亦委身於靈糧世界佈道會的異象與使命，並於2001年7月接受台北靈糧堂與矽谷生命河靈糧堂的差派，開始在馬利蘭州拓植大華府生命河靈糧堂。他們的使命與目標就是依靠聖靈的引導完成主所賜的異象，成為神榮耀的居所，使萬民為耶穌基督的門徒。雖曾經歷過一些困難和挑戰，但是靠著神的恩典，一路走過來，教會不斷成長，同時將主的祝福和愛帶給整個社區。在2024年，胡牧師決定卸下重擔，暫時休息。期望神繼續帶領、堅固全教會的弟兄姐妹同心向前，不論是成人、青年、青少年或兒童都能經歷神的大能，同時更深的愛主愛人，使該教會能夠經歷復興。
