Bringing The Gospel To The People Of The World

Welcome to the website of Dr. Aung Lai Matu and Open Arms In Christ Community Church (PCA), a New York City church plant project of the Redeemer Church Planting Center (New York, NY) and Brandon Presbyterian Church (Brandon, MS).

Our multi-ethnic church is targeted for the Woodside and Elmhurst neighborhoods in Queens, NY, with the purpose of being a light to the local Asian immigrant populations, including the Burmese, Thai, Laotian, and Bangladeshi communities, the people who do not know the living God, the salvation of Jesus Christ. We desire to bring the gospel to the people of the world, right here in Queens.

"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile."
-Romans 1:16
