English-Chinese Corner
UPDATE: Milliken has started a new outreach called “Chinese-English Corner”, Thursday evenings at 6:30pm. Our mission is to connect with members from our Chinese-speaking community and our Church family will have an opportunity to learn English and in a three-part education experience. For now, we are currently offering English lessons to our Chinese-speaking community, taught by English teacher, Mr. Colbert Dennis. Later on, we will have a Chinese-speaking teacher who will teach Chinese to interested Milliken members. The goal is to then have a Chinese-English exchange where we can learn from each other through conversation and fellowship. We will keep you posted when Chinese classes begin.
