Alan Fong was saved in 1971 out of a Roman Catholic background. Since the moment he was saved, God has been working in his life both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Although not having been formally trained, he was trained in most aspects of the local church having served in multiple ministry capacities and was often a fill in preacher while as a layman. In addition, he has been privileged to having been under the mentorship of several strong independent fundamental Baptist pastors.

 

Pastor Fong was among the core membership that helped in the planting of Heritage Baptist Church in January 1999. After the founding pastor had announced his desire to return overseas as a missionary, the church ultimately called Pastor Fong in November 2004 as its senior pastor.

 

The church is located in the heart of the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Area, and has been blessed with three acres of beautiful property consisting of 44,000 square feet of worship, multiuse, educational, and office buildings.

 

The church has multiple weekly services with several hundred people in attendance. The services of the church may be characterized as friendly with inspiring music, and strong, convicting preaching from the word of God. The church also has extension ministries in two other locations within a 30-minute driving distance.

 

The heartbeat of Pastor Fong’s ministry is a consuming passion to reach the people of the Bay Area with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to pastor his congregation. He loves his church and strives to inspire his church to love the Lord, serve others, and to impact the world.

 

The church is uniquely serving every age group with vibrant ministries for adults, college students, teenagers, children, and those who speak the Chinese and Spanish languages.

 

Under Pastor Fong’s leadership the church has experienced strong and consistent growth in all facets of the ministry. The church is being strategically prepared for its next level of growth which includes the planting of churches throughout the Bay Area, the training of the next generation of leaders for ministry and overseas missions, and the saturation of the Bay Area with the gospel message.

 

Pastor Fong is the author of “My God Morning”, a daily devotional book and “The Right Start”, a book written to help new believers. He has two other books that are in the process of being written.

 

Pastor Fong also serves on various boards for the advancing of the gospel through church planting and overseas missions’ endeavors.

 

Pastor Fong has been married to his wife of 43 years, Grace, and they have two daughters, Carise and Tiffany, a son, Justin, who serves as an assistant to the Pastor in the church, and four beautiful granddaughters.
