A Profile of Edna Wong Christian Worship and Arts Education Centre

The Resources Centre

　　HKBTS has been offering church music courses for years and has been striving to enhance the quality of worship in churches. Since the establishment of the Edna Wong Christian Worship and Arts Education Centre, we have further developed a number of music and art training programs to promote the spiritual quality of churches in the areas of worship, Christian life, ministry, and services.

　　The centre is named after Mrs. Edna Wong (-1996), who loved God and her church all her life, and spared no effort in the promotion of church music. She served as a lecturer and a board member of HKBTS and contributed to the establishment of scholarships for our students. In accordance with Mrs. Wong’s last wishes, her church, the Hong Kong Baptist Church, made a large donation to support the Edna Wong Church Music Development Fund which was set up by HKBTS to cultivate religious education and church music practitioners in churches. In 2002, the Fund supported the establishment of the Christian Worship and Arts Education Centre, which was named after Mrs. Wong.

　　In 2002, the Edna Wong Christian Worship and Arts Education Centre was formally established in our Applied Theological Education Centre on the 9th floor of Christian Centre, 56 Bute Street, Mong Kok. The centre launched its first programs and courses in October of the same year and has been providing a wide range of music and arts training to help churches to present better worship to God.
