Orange County Christian Evangelical Church (OCCEC) began in 1987
with a few Mandarin-speaking immigrant families who had a vision and
spiritual burden to plant a Christian church in Orange County. Ever
since its inception, OCCEC has endeavored to be non-denominational,
self-supporting, and strongly focused around evangelism and
missions. Today, we are a congregation of about 450 adults and
children.
