Southlake Blvd., Southlake, TX 76092) A Brief Introduction to Arlington Chinese Church Arlington Chinese Church was founded in 1980 in response to God's calling to minister to the increasing Chinese population in Arlington, most of whom did not know the name of Jesus. Since its opening, this Kingdom vision has been driving ACC to focus on missions both locally and globally. Over the past 41 years, ACC has planted 6 churches, with 5 in the greater DFW area and 1 in Germany. In 2017 the leadership of ACC sensed a calling from God to start another church in DFW. After a thorough study of the most recent census, we found a large increase in the Chinese population in the City of Southlake and the greater Southlake area. Attracted by the incredible school district as well as a comfortable and convenient living environment, people from various locations and backgrounds have moved into Southlake. Most of the Chinese population, especially those who have recently immigrated, do not know God, and yet there is no Chinese church in this area. In response to God's guidance and this great need, ACC felt led to start a ministry in Southlake. Following God's guidance, we planned, established a core team, and started prayer meetings and Bible studies. We have established a relationship with the Southlake Tutoring Academy for meetings in person. God has led us and provided for us through every challenge. But as soon as we were poised to begin, COVID-19 hit the whole world and greatly impacted our plan. However, assured of God's calling for the ministry at Southlake, we continued everything we can in creative ways. With a balance of caution in light of the pandemic and with the courage in the Lord, we started in -person and online hybrid Bible studies in late 2020, and sometime later started having private Sunday worship services. In the past year, God has been faithful to bring more people and blessings to us all. Current Plan and Application for Specific Use Permit As the situation of the pandemic is improving, after much prayer, we would like to officially open our campus in Southlake and make our Sunday worship service public for anybody to join. We then will be able to reach out and share the Gospel more effectively. To comply with city requirements, we are applying for a Specific Use Permit from the City of Southlake. We will use the facility on weekends only, with the following hours and purposes: - Friday evenings 6:30-10:00 PM, for Bible studies and prayer meetings. - Saturday evenings 6:30-10:00 PM, for set up and worship rehearsals. - Sunday 9:30 AM-2:00 PM, for worship services, and Bible studies. The room usage is marked in the attached site plan. At present, we have about 20 participants at our Friday evening Bible study, 10 at our Saturday evening rehearsals, and approximately 40 at our private worship services on Sunday mornings. According to the occupancy limits of the facility and available parking space, we can use the facility until we are more than 120 people, including adults and minors. There is still plenty of room for growth. We appreciate your attention to this matter and humbly request that you approve our application and issue a Specific Use Permit at your earliest convenience. We pray that God's will be done, and at the same time, we desire to witness the glory of God and His power working through us in such a way as to bless the entire community of Southlake.
