About Us
TWE12TH is the youth group of Faith Community Church in Hong Kong. We’re a family of kids from different places and perspectives. As twe12th we’re about loving God and loving people. We’re Christians, which means we’re dealing and living with Jesus and his Way…plus His Father and the Holy Spirit to boot. Which is kinda complicated but pretty awesome if you think about it. ’ Cos that means our God is one being, yet within his very being there exists relationship…and that’s a model for our life as a community.
Often we get asked, “What does ‘twe12th’ mean? Is it just a random name?” No. Not random. Many years ago we chose the name “twe12thFloor” because we were located on the twe12th floor of a building. So everyone THINKS we were named after a floor number. Which is partly true…but it ain’t the whole shmoley. (For the record now we’re on the second floor.)
We’re named twe12th because the no. 12 is an evocative, symbolic number in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. Twelve symbolizes God’s people; God’s family; God’s community in this world. Israel had twelve tribes and Jesus’ had twelve disciples—a carefully chosen symbol of the new people of God he intended to create. And we are “twe12th”: one part of that twelve—a local expression of God’s new and renewed humanity in this world.
We ARE local. We meet weekly at various locales, and you should contact us to know where we are meeting on a given week. Our main locale is at Sparrow House, where our youth pastor Richie and his awesome wife Sarah live. Do come by and visit us—we’d be honoured and blessed to know you :)
Twe12th usually meets on Fridays at 6pm, but has been known to occasionally meet on Saturdays for special events. Contact us to find out where we are this week!
