Chinese Community & Churches (Philadelphia, Pottstown: neighborhood, school district, camps)

[JakeinChina]

Hello All


I'm originally from New Jersey, and my wife (Chinese national) and our two kids will be moving to the Philly suburbs, somewhere around Conshy, King of Prussia or somewhere on the PA side but hopefully not too far from Philly downtown. Does anyone know of any Chinese churches in the area? Are there certain towns that have significant Chinese populations? I know Chinese are everywhere in the U.S. these days, but perhaps it might be easier for my wife to find friends and a good Christian community if were closer to a larger Chinese population.


I read that King of Prussia is like 30% Asian, but is that mostly Indian people? Thanks for your help.

The only Chinese church that I know of is Holy Redeemer Chinese Catholic Church and School at 9th and Vine Sts in the Chinatown section of Phila. Philadelphia's Chinatown is a neighborhood in Center City.

I think the TE school district has a good amount of chinese people. Upper Darby also has some chinese. I think in montco, the lansdale and north wales area has chinese people. The Asians in king of prussia is mostly chinese. I don't know much about church since I don't go.
