The congregation met in various members’ homes from 1978 to 1982. After considerable growth in membership, MCCC rented space from Lincroft Presbyterian Church at the corner of Crawford Corners-Everett Road and West Front Street in Lincroft from 1983 to 1990.  The growth of MCCC naturally led them to buy a chapel of their own. By God's grace MCCC bought their first chapel at 1209 West Front in Lincroft and moved in by Easter of 1991.  To meet the growing demand of the younger generation and non-Chinese population, in 1995 MCCC started to have two Sunday services, one in English and one in Mandarin.  In year 2000, a Cantonese Sunday service has been added.  Blessed with rapid growth, MCCC outgrew their Lincroft church facility in very short time. In June 1999, the church building committee of MCCC purchased a 13-acre property at 189 Holland Road, Middletown for the purpose of constructing a new and larger church facility.  In April 2003, MCCC celebrated their 20^th anniversary and had the ground dedication service for the new church.  There are two phases in the new church construction project: In phase I, Finish a 3-story education-wing, the octagon basement and the site preparation.  The education-wing has a 325-seat sanctuary on the second floor, offices, classrooms and library on the first floor and a fellowship hall in the basement.  The octagon basement has ten classrooms for Sunday school.  The landscaped site has a paved parking lot with 200 parking spaces.  In phase II, Complete the main octagon sanctuary and an all purpose facility (gym) next to the main sanctuary.  Praise God, in November 2005, we completed our phase I project, received the CO (Certificate of Occupancy) from Middletown Township and have worshiped in the new facility ever since.

MCCC is an independent non-denominational church with no affiliation with any outside body and group and is solely responsible for its own financial needs.  However, with God’s abundant love and blessing, brothers and sisters’ faithful serving and sacrifices, our church has been living and growing. In the fall of 1987, we had our first pastor, Pastor Norman Chen.  We thank God that many ministers have continued to shepherd our church: Pastor Paul Chang (1994~), Pastor Ben Han (1995~1998), Pastor Al McNally (1999~2004), Youth Director Lisa Lee (1996~2002), Youth Director Wendy Chou (2002~2008), Minister Derrick Jackson (2003~2008) and Pastor John Heald (2009~).  To date our church members are no more than 300, however the Sunday attendance is about 450, including youth and children.  Our prayer to God is, Lord, make us a blessing not only to the Chinese community of Monmouth County, but also to the whole county.
