First Ithaca Chinese Christian Church

Ithaca, New York, USA

The First Ithaca Chinese Christian Church (FICCC) in Ithaca, New York (ficcc.org and em.ficcc.org), was founded in 1983 and now serves 150 people in Mandarin and English.

Located in a beautiful college town with Cornell University and Ithaca College, the church hosts two separate congregations: a Chinese congregation led by Pastor Bin Tang and an English congregation led by Pastor Paul Epp, who will conclude his ministry in July 2025.

The English congregation mainly consists mostly of Cornell students (with several local adults and youth) and is ethnically diverse, while the Chinese congregation consists of Chinese-speaking students, scholars, and their families.
