Description of Organization: EACF is an independent church comprised of primarily second-generation Asian-Americans borne out of the English ministry of ACCC–a Chinese immigrant congregation organized in 1980 by students from Taiwan. Over the years, ACCC has grown with more Chinese-heritage immigrants and migrants from other cities in the USA, has planted two daughter churches (Johns Creek and East Cobb), and has supported the separation of the English-speaking congregation EACF to be an independent but partnered daughter/sister congregation sharing a facility and collaborating in children and youth ministries. EACF oversees youth ministry while ACCC oversees children’s ministry.
