On April 20, 1974, the First Southern Baptist Church of Anaheim voted to let Dr. Chiu start Chinese work in the chapel. One week later during the first Chinese service 60 were present as well as 40 in Bible Study. On May 19, 1974, Dr. James Chiu was ordained. Less than a year later on April 26, 1975 the Chinese congregation held their one year anniversary on which 217 people were present to celebrate it.
