Who Are We
Wheaton Chinese Alliance Church (WCAC) is a part of The Christian & Missionary Alliance family and shares the vision of the C&MA, “All of Jesus for All the World.”
Our history and demographic identity as a church can be traced back to 1978, when Rev. David Wong founded WCAC to reach the Chinese community in Wheaton, IL. With the growth of Chinese believers and their children who grew up in the American society speaking only English, WCAC has grown to become a church that is intergenerational, multilingual and multicultural.
Today, WCAC is a 1:3:1 church. We are 1 family in Christ, we speak 3 languages, and we share 1 mission. As one church with three language-based services and distinct cultures, we strive to understand and love one another with unity in heart, mind, and purpose. We are one family traveling on the same path towards the same goal.
Our Vision
Our vision is to take “All of Jesus for All the World.”
Because we have experienced His love, hope, and mercy first-hand, we are compelled to make Him known to all people in every segment of society.
Our Mission
Our mission is to proclaim Christ and transform lives to love God, one another, and the world.
We believe that being a Christian is not just a call to know and believe in Jesus Christ, but to have a new mission in life and become fishers of men. Therefore, we believe in intentional discipleship, multiplying disciples that make disciples. Disciples whose faith is not only personal and private, but active in loving people in the near and far.

Primacy of Prayer: 1 John 5:14. We commit to the primacy of prayer and our full dependency on God in all areas of our lives and ministries.
Family in Christ: Ephesian 4:1-6. We commit to loving one another with unity in heart, mind, and purpose as our family in Christ.
