A table set wide for every soul who calls Shanghai home.
Thanksgiving English Fellowship is a gathering of believers from every corner of the world, meeting to worship, study Scripture, and walk through life together.
Hope in Jesus
Come as you are. Leave with people who know your name.
Whether you've just landed in Shanghai or have called this city home for years, TEF exists to be a place of honest worship, real community, and steady teaching from Scripture — in English, for the international family God has gathered here.
Our pastors and staff come from different corners of the world, but they're united in one aim: helping you take your next step with Jesus, whatever that looks like for you.
