簡介 Introduction

Albert Lam was born and raised in Hong Kong.

Since then, this small church, in God’s grace, has gradually grown and branched out to five more churches in nearby regions. Pastor Lam received his initial ministerial training from Overseas Bible Seminary in Hong Kong and Religious Education training from Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary. In 2004, he received his Doctor of Ministry degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in California. Pastor Lam also preaches frequently at church retreats, pastors’ retreats and Bible conferences in North America, Europe and Asia. He is also an adjunct professor at various seminaries in California, teaching Homiletics and Church Growth.
