CCC Chuen Yuen Church, Christian church in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.
CCC Chuen Yuen Church is a church building in Tsuen Wan with a traditional layout featuring a central nave and large windows that fill the worship space with natural light. The interior is designed for congregational gatherings during services and community events throughout the year.
Founded in 1905 by the New Territories Mission under Rev. William Wilson, the church began as the Tsuen Wan Gospel Hall in rented premises on Old Street, with Leung Bing Fai as first pastor. In 1914 it moved to a new building at Tree Head and took the name Chuen Yuen Church. Occupied as a stable by Japanese forces in 1941, it relocated to Tai Uk Street in 1960 and was registered as a religious body in 1979.
The name Chuen Yuen comes from two explanations: some proposed "Complete Hall" from Matthew 5:48, but others preferred "Chuen" to match the old name of Tsuen Wan ("Chuen Wan"), and in Hakka, "Chuen Yuen" sounds close to "Chuen Wan". The church also founded Chuen Yuen Girls' School in 1905, which later became Chuen Yuen School and then CCC Chuen Yuen First Primary School.
Visitors typically need to complete vaccination verification and scan QR codes for contact tracing before entering the building. It helps to check service times and available community events before planning your visit.
The name Chuen Yuen nearly became "Completeness Church", after Matthew 5:48, but the first character was kept to match "Chuen Wan", an old spelling of Tsuen Wan; in Hakka the two names sound alike. The church also ran a cemetery: a plot at Ma Sim Pai granted in 1915 was exchanged in 1976 for land at Chuen Lung, where the church cemetery remains.
