Name of church: St. Andrew's
City: Hong Kong
Website: http://www.standrews.org.hk/
What's the worship music like? (Contemporary, hymns, long, fast, loud etc?): Well, since the youth is going through a kind of rebirth period, the worship is kind of small but growing at the moment. Typical 90s worship songs, a few modern hymms and maybe a bit of David Crowder played by youth and an adult.
What's the speaking like? (Old school Bible, culturally relevant, by video etc?) Culturally relevant of sorts, sometimes video, and sometimes Old school Bible. As I said before, it's growing.
What's the childcare like? For Hong Kong church standards, I'd say it's more than decent. Run by parent volunteers most of the time.
What's your favorite thing? The people, of course.
What would you change? Possibly some of the youth center we rented. It's screaming to be pimped out.
Can I wear jeans? Yep.

Name of church: Sha Tin Anglican

What's the worship music like? (Contemporary, hymns, long, fast, loud etc?): There's always a great mix, because our church has such a variety of people. Also it depends who's leading - there are three main worship leaders at the minute. One of thems your semi-metrosexual worship leader (minus the goatee, though, unfortunately) who does a lot of contemporary stuff, some David Crowder, one or two of his own songs, and then at the other extreme there's an older guy who leans more towards the slower old school stuff. So it's good for everyone.
What's the speaking like? (Old school Bible, culturally relevant, by video etc?): Mostly culturally relevant, a video thrown in here and there.
What's the childcare like?: Fantastic. We have Sunday schools for kids up to about 10 years old, seperated into appropriate age groups, and a creche for babies.
What's your favorite thing?: The people, the whole family feel. Folks make sure everyone's welcomed.
What would you change?: Very little, to be honest. There are always slight changes going on to improve the service, and most of them happen before you even realize something's not quite right.
Can I wear jeans?: Absolutely :)
