EFC Irvine 1.5G Ministry - Irvine (CA)

5 /5 Ivy Tsai: I love the friends here very much, especially suitable for young couples/ families with children. At Sunday, Me and my husband join 1.5G service and my kids can attend Sunday school at the same time. Great kids program. Church ppl are very kind and friendly. 講中文&英文都通！ We also join a small group. It’s a great community for family who are looking for a spiritual home.

5 /5 Kari T Pan: We have been coming to the 1.5G in EFCI for years. We love the culture and people there. We met many families with young kids there and found a small group that we can consistently connect with. Will for sure recommend for whoever speak mandarin.

5 /5 嘻哈一家XihaFamily: 1.5 generation is a hidden gem in Irvine! After moving to Irvine in 2020, my family have been trying to get in touch with different churches and groups to find one that really resonates with us. I was born and raised up in China and my husband is an ABC. We feel 1.5 Gen is customized by God for us, where we meet couples with similar background. Dont get me wrong its very inclusive too for people from different background. Our kids come here and they have a great time playing and learning the Bible stories. Highly recommend it if you are also searching for a church and small groups.

5 /5 Euphie Liu: We are incredibly grateful for Pastor Kitty and her profound impact on our lives as young adults. Her pre-marital counseling was exceptional, offering wisdom, compassion, and practical advice that thoroughly prepared us for marriage. Pastor Kitty took the time to understand our backgrounds, provided personalized insights, and equipped us with essential tools for a strong and lasting marriage. Additionally, her leadership in small group settings has been invaluable. She creates a welcoming environment that encourages genuine connections and meaningful discussions. The members of our small group are wonderful, adding to the sense of community and support. Pastor Kitty and our group leaders’ biblically sound guidance has fostered a tight-knit community where we can grow in our faith together. We highly recommend 1.5G to anyone seeking spiritual guidance and community.

5 /5 Winston Yu: I attended EFCI’s 1.5G congregation for over ten years and have truly found a spiritual home here. 1.5G offers a unique community for bilingual cross-cultural individuals. What kept me here all these years is its biblically sound and relevant sermons, its celebration of cultural heritage, and its warm and caring community. This church is a shining example of how a diverse group of individuals can unite under the banner of Christ, love, and shared values, making it a genuinely enriching spiritual experience for all.
