Pathway Bible Fellowship (formerly Pathway Bible Church), or Pathway, is a ministry of New Vision Church,[1] located in Milpitas, California. The congregation was founded in 1992 in San José, California.

History

The group was formed in 1992 by the Korean First Baptist Church of San Jose (currently New Vision Church) to serve the growing number of English-speaking Korean adults in the San José area at the time. It was one of the first churches in the San José area to specifically target college students and adults in the Korean American community.[2] Jim Bae became the ministry's first full-time pastor in January 1993.

Currently, Pathway is led by Pastor Bob Lee. More than 150 people attend service each Sunday, consisting of college students, single adults, and families from a variety of backgrounds.

Outreach

The church has weekly small group Bible studies and regularly volunteers at the African American Community Center in downtown San José.[3] In the past, Pathway has sent teams to Mexico, Kenya, Japan and Northeast Asia to aid local relief efforts.
