我们的历史 Our history
2002 年 10 月，北达科他大学校园举办了为期三天的福音聚会。聚会之后，2002 年 10 月 20 日（星期日），查经班的筹备会议在北达科他大学国际中心召开。会议由 Abraham Hsueh 牧师主持，他也应邀担任新成立的查经班的顾问。
会上，与会者一一分享了参加福音聚会的感受和见证。Hsueh 牧师勉励大家，并提出了三个步骤：第一，成立中文查经班，定期、系统地查考圣经；第二，建立教会，在本地区向华人广传福音；第三，寻找牧者牧养群羊。
会议讨论了查经班的名称（UND-CBSG 或 GGF-CBSG，当天没有作出最后决定），并推选了六位同工，首届任期六个月（2002 年 10 月至 2003 年 4 月）。查经班定于每周五晚上 7 点到 9 点聚会，由四个家庭轮流开放家庭作为聚会地点。
2002 年 11 月 1 日，查经班举行了第一次查经（会议原定在 Chen 家举行）。按照计划，大家先用两周时间学习《创世记》前四章，之后查考《约翰福音》、《使徒行传》和《罗马书》。
此后多年，查经班邀请了 Clement Yeung 医生、Chuck Kwok 博士、高德荣牧师（Pastor Ko）和庄祖鲲牧师等讲员来分享，举办聚餐、圣诞节和春节庆祝活动及见证分享，也接待了来访的短宣队。往年的活动记录请见历年活动。
In October 2002, a three-day evangelical event was held on the University of North Dakota campus. Following it, on Sunday, October 20, 2002, an organizational meeting was held at the UND International Center. Rev. Abraham Hsueh facilitated the meeting and agreed to serve as the new group's consultant.
One by one, the attendees shared their experiences and testimonies from the event. Rev. Hsueh encouraged them and set out three steps: first, establish a Chinese Bible study group and study the Bible regularly and systematically; second, plant a church and spread the gospel among Chinese people in the region; and third, find a pastor to shepherd the congregation.
The meeting discussed a name for the group (UND-CBSG or GGF-CBSG; no final decision was made that day) and chose six coworkers for an initial six-month term, October 2002 to April 2003. The group would meet every Friday night from 7 to 9 pm, rotating among four families who offered their homes.
The first Bible study took place on November 1, 2002; the meeting had planned it for the Chen family's home. The plan was to spend two weeks on the first four chapters of Genesis, then study John, Acts and Romans.
Over the years the group has welcomed guest speakers including Dr. Clement Yeung, Dr. Chuck Kwok, Pastor Ko and Pastor Tsu-Kung Chuang, shared potlucks, celebrated Christmas and Chinese New Year, heard testimonies, and hosted a visiting short-term mission team. See the archive for past events.
