About HCC

Currently, the U of M has the most Chinese students out of any other North American university. Most of these individuals come from the People’s Republic of China and it is the desire of the Hospitality Center to provide a welcoming environment for them as they face the challenges, changes and complexities of their new setting in the United States. It is an important place of friendship, understanding and Christian witness. HCC is designed to share Christ’s love through hospitality. All of our programs and services build meaningful relationships and bridges between the U.S. and China.

目前，在北美的大学中，明尼苏达大学的中国学生最多，其中大多数来自中华人民共和国。当这些学生刚到美国，面对挑战，机会及困惑的状况时，我们希望华夏之家能为他们创建一个友好的环境，这是一个传达友谊，理解和基督徒见证的场所。华夏之家非常愿意通过我们的盛情分享基督徒的爱。我们所有的项目和服务会为中美之间建立有意义的关系和桥梁。

HCC's Background

华夏之家的背景

The Hospitality Center for Chinese (HCC) was founded in 1992 by retired missionaries from China. Upon coming to Minnesota, they noticed a strategic opportunity to serve Chinese students and families at the University of Minnesota. HCC started as a small Christian organization that provided practical services like English classes and friendship meals. 16 years later, we still provide these same practical services, but through an expanded program including: furniture ministry, multiple classes/activities, and host homes for new students.

华夏之家于1992年由曾经到中国传教的美国退休宣教士创建。来到明尼苏达之初，他们注意到这里有很好的机会为中国留学生和家庭提供服务。最初，华夏之家只是一个很小的组织，提供一些实用性的服务，例如开办英语班和友好的聚餐等。16年后的今天，我们还是继续这些服务，但我们的服务项目扩大了：提供家具，开办多样的课程和活动以及为新生提供住宿家庭等。

The Hospitality Center for Chinese is located within “China Place” building. “China Place” is co-owned by China Service Ventures. China Service Ventures (CSV) is committed to fostering mutually enriching relationships between Christian communities in North America and communities in China.

What we believe

我们所相信的

Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
