As Presbyterians, we believe that “God sends the Church to show compassion in the world: feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, visiting prisoners, freeing captives, sheltering the homeless, welcoming strangers, comforting those who mourn, and being present with all who are in need. These acts of compassion, done corporately or individually, are the work of the Church as the body of Christ. We are called to minister directly to people’s immediate hurts and needs. We are also called to confront and challenge systems that perpetuate human misery. We participate in Christ’s compassionate ministry through local acts of witness and advocacy, through the programs of the larger church, and in cooperation with other agencies and organizations committed to human welfare.” (Book of Order, W-5.0303) In particular, CPC of Oakland is committed to serving the Oakland community in our Chinatown location by offering after-school and summer programmes for children and youth to elevate their body, mind, and spirit. We also offer English as a Second Language classes for adults.
作為長老會教友，我們相信「上帝差遣教會在世界中彰顯憐憫：餵養飢餓的人，照顧病患，探訪囚犯，釋放被擄的，為無家可歸者提供庇護，接納陌生人，安慰哀傷的人，並與一切有需要的人同在。這些憐憫的行動，無論是集體或個別地實踐，都是教會作為基督身體的工作。我們蒙召直接回應人們當下的傷痛與需要；同時也蒙召面對並挑戰那些延續人類苦難的制度。我們透過地方性的見證與倡議，透過更廣泛教會的各項事工，並與其他致力於人類福祉的機構與組織合作，參與基督充滿憐憫的事工。」（《教會法規》，W-5.0303）中華基督教屋崙長老會尤其致力於我們華埠的會址服事屋崙社區，為兒童與青少年提供課後及暑期活動，促進他們在身體、心智與靈性上的成長。我們亦為成人提供英語作為第二語言（ESL）課程。
