In September 1970, several Chinese Christians started the Gainesville Chinese Bible Study Group.  They met every Friday night at the Baptist Student Center.  Not only to fellowship through Bible study, praying, and sharing together with other brothers and sisters in the Lord, but also to share the gospel with the Chinese community.  The numbers of people attending the meeting grew from a little over 10 people to 60 to 70 people by 1980s.

In 1979, the First Baptist Church started an international Sunday school, whose members were mainly from the Gainesville Chinese Bible Study Group.  In October 1988, Chinese Sunday worship service was started at the chapel of the First Baptist Church.  In February 1989, the Gainesville Chinese Christian Church was officially established.  By the grace of God, we moved into our own church building in 2002.  The number of adults attending the worship service grew from about 40 initially to more than 100 at present.
