As the youth matured and as some adults began to show interest, talk of an actual worship service began with the first English service held in 1998 under the Youth Department of Victory Church. It was first called English High School Fellowship, then it changed to Victory Church English Youth Fellowship. The Chinese Youth Group began holding a bilingual service once a month so that the English speakers would have an opportunity to worship, hear God’s word preached, and take communion. As the word of an English service spread, more foreign adults started attending. It continued to grow with English services held 3 Sundays a month, in addition to the bilingual monthly service with the Chinese Youth. English speaking youth began gathering formally every Friday night for Bible Studies, fun, and fellowship. In the meantime, more and more foreign adults were moving into the city to teach English and work in the Science Park. As word spread of an English service at Victory Church, the Sunday morning attendance grew.
