Role in the Community

  • Founding-generation member of the St. Louis Taiwanese Christian circle: in summer 1972, 鄭紀昭博士 and wife 謝光華 joined the initial house-church organizing meetings in St. Louis convened by 張世聰/翁秀惠, 高銘憲/石幸津, 石孜理, and 林逸民/陳倫美 — the group that became the 福爾摩沙基督徒圑契 (registered by 張理美) and later the 大聖路易台灣人長老基督教會, the first Taiwanese church in the U.S. Midwest to join a mainstream American denomination (Presbytery, Oct 1988). Source: 張理美’s church history memoir 2017.

  • Served as an elder (長老) of the big St. Louis church’s 小會 alongside 高銘憲, 林逸民, 張理美, 陳克充, and 蘇希三, after the church’s first stated pastor 賴俊明 was installed 1989-05-07 (same memoir).

  • Chaired the church’s second 建堂委員會 (first chaired by 林逸民) — the campaign that acquired a 5-acre Presbytery lot in 波溫市, broke ground 1990-09-16, and dedicated the ‘台’-shaped church (per 張理美’s design) at 542 Res Road, St. Louis, MO on 1991-08-17; within three years the church paid back its original land value to the Presbytery’s new-church fund (same memoir).
