The Children's Sunday School promotes friendship and teamwork among children through activities such as craft classes, birthday celebrations, and calligraphy exhibitions. Its aim is to bring them before God and cultivate Christ-like character. We teach the children to walk in the right path, helping their faith take root in Jesus Christ, so they can become the light and salt of society in the future. The Children's Sunday School is an important part of evangelism and a testament to the revival of the church. During the pandemic, the online Sunday School for the older class continued, with teachers actively engaging in teaching.

In 2020, under the impact of the pandemic, Jiaen Church actively conducted both online and offline activities, including evangelism, health seminars, New Year celebrations, Sunday school exchanges, and the ordination ceremony for deacons. The church witnessed the baptisms and memberships of several brothers and sisters, sharing stories of faith and growth. Despite facing challenges, church members, guided by God, maintained their faith, united in mutual support, and expressed gratitude for every blessing in their lives. Especially during the pandemic, everyone strengthened their faith and support for one another through online gatherings and prayers, demonstrating steadfast belief and hope for the future.

In 2019, the activities at Grace Church were vibrant and diverse. Church members gathered to celebrate important occasions such as the New Year, Communion Sunday, and Parents' Day, sharing in faith and love. We honored Pastor Wang Shoukua, who retired after 13 years of faithful service, with a grand farewell ceremony to express our gratitude for his dedication. Numerous baptisms and membership ceremonies witnessed the growth of our believers' faith, especially during our 13th Anniversary Thanksgiving Sunday, where we collectively celebrated the church's growth and God's guidance. Additionally, the church organized various fellowship activities to foster care and communication among believers, spreading the gospel and demonstrating Christ's love.

In 2018, the Good News Church newsletter reflected on several significant events, including Pastor Changhua's sharing in August, the twelfth anniversary praise evening in September, and the Thanksgiving Sunday, which drew many members to participate. The members' meeting and short-term mission activities held in November showcased the unity and spirit of dedication within the church. December's baptism Sunday saw five new believers welcomed into the fold, highlighting God's grace. Additionally, brothers and sisters shared their personal faith experiences, emphasizing the importance of studying the Bible and relying on God. They encouraged more people to engage in discipleship courses to deepen their understanding and practice of faith.

The Christian community in Tauranga celebrated the ninth anniversary of the church at a Thanksgiving gathering, officially elevating their status to that of a congregation and naming it Grace Church. This marks a deeper step in their faith journey, becoming a powerful witness to the grace and truth of God within the community.

Pastor Wang's Bible study at home is an activity focused on worship and learning the Scriptures. Participants come together under Pastor Wang's guidance to discuss and explore the doctrines and stories of the Bible, deepening their understanding and practice of faith. This gathering typically includes prayer, reading of Scripture, and sharing personal insights, all aimed at enhancing fellowship among believers and fostering spiritual growth.

On September 13, 2006, Christians gathered at the Baptist Hall located at 244 Welcome Bay Rd in Tauranga.
