CCC Hop Yat Church, Grade I historic church in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.
CCC Hop Yat Church is a religious building located on Bonham Road with classical Christian architectural design from the early 20th century. The structure displays carefully crafted details and proportions typical of houses of worship from this era.
The church was completed and opened on 10 October 1926, making it the first Christian church in Hong Kong built with funds raised by Chinese believers. Its predecessor was the Tao Chek Church of the London Missionary Society; after the congregation joined the Church of Christ in China, the new building on Bonham Road was renamed Hop Yat Church. It is now a Grade I historic building.
The church began as Daoji Hall, a chapel of the London Missionary Society, before its Chinese congregation joined the Church of Christ in China and gave the building its present name, Hop Yat, "united". It was the first Christian church in Hong Kong funded entirely by Chinese believers, who raised the money for the 1926 building on Bonham Road.
The site is easily accessible by public transportation in Central District, making it simple for visitors to reach. Check opening times before visiting and keep in mind that active worship services take priority over tourism.
The building holds Grade I status under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance with strict legal protection. Any repairs or changes require official approval to maintain its original form.
