Abound
Our History
CCIC is an elder-governed non-denominational church. It traces its root back to 1969 when some graduate students from San Jose State University formed a Bible study. By 1971, this group grew into a church, formally known as Chinese Church in Christ (CCIC). Over the years, our church grew to include Cantonese and English congregations, along with children and youth ministries. We praise God for the privilege of leading many people to Christ, helping them to mature in Him, and equipping them for the work of the ministry. As our church grew, we planted several other CCICs in the Bay Area: Mountain View, South San Jose (South Valley), Milpitas (North Valley), Cupertino, and Central San Jose. North Valley planted its own church in Pleasanton (Tri-Valley). Since each church is designated by its location, our church became CCIC-SJ.
Abound is a CCIC-SJ English ministry for young adults (college and young professionals) who want to live and love like Jesus through the power of the gospel.
Our name comes from Philippians 1:9-11 (ESV): “And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” College and post-college years can be difficult times, with transitions, identity, relationships, and purpose. Our hope is to grow in accordance to the will of God so as to be equipped to live the rest of our lives in a way that pleases God. We strive to regularly do this through the word, prayer, worship, and accountability in a Christ-centered community.
Abound meets on Wednesday night each week at 6pm for dinner and 7pm for a time of worship, bible study, sharing and prayer.
