Brethren in the Ecclesiastical District of Taiwan rejoiced over the establishment of the Miaoli City Group Worship Service (GWS). On August 29, 2026, its inaugural worship service was held at No. 810, Zhongzheng Rd, Gaomiao Village, Miaoli City. It was attended by brethren enlisted there as well as those from neighboring congregations.

Succeeding worship services will also be conducted in the same venue.

Brother Roel O. Castillo, district supervising minister, officiated at the occasion. “We give praise and thanks to the Almighty God for He willed the establishment of this GWS through our beloved Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo Manalo, to care for the brethren in this city,” he said. “In joyful gratitude for this answered prayer, brethren here pledge to remain steadfast in their divine election and in active unity in all Church endeavors for God’s glory.”

“I’m deeply grateful to the Lord God for blessing us in this city a place of worship, which is near our homes,” expressed Camille Chavez, KADIWA member. “I promise to continue attending worship services and actively share the true faith to my fellowmen.”

Carloyd Vicente, a head deacon, added, “We promise to cherish and protect this place entrusted to us, for it is here that we gather for sacred worship and perform the works led by the Church Administration.”

The new GWS is under the supervision of the Local Congregation of Zaoqiao. — With assistance from Alfred Tan
