Living Hope Church RVA was strategically born out of Grace Chinese Baptist Church of Richmond (GCBCR) to expand the Gospel beyond the Chinese community. As God blessed the English ministry from primarily a youth group in 2008, to a multi ethnic and multi generational congregation in 2023, our church wrestled with the question "how will God use GCBCR to continue to bring the Gospel to the nations in Richmond, VA?" From this desire, Living Hope Church RVA was born in 2024. GCBCR and Living Hope Church RVA continues to co-locate in the same building and partner on many ministries such as children and youth ministries, deacon and elder board, finances, etc. However, each has autonomy to contextualize their ministries to reach different demographics in Richmond for the Gospel.
