Evangel College is a co-educational school in Hong Kong, located at 7 Chi Shin Street, Tseung Kwan O, New Territories. Founded in 2006, the school's mission is to "Proclaim the Truth, Nurture our Youth". The school commenced operation in the Direct Subsidy Scheme since its foundation. It uses English as the medium of instruction.

School facilities

Adopting orange and white as its fundamental colour, the Z-shaped school campus is mainly divided into the Primary and Secondary Sections. The sections are connected on the first, second, and fourth floors. The campus design is a winning work of "In Search of Diversity in School Design: Architectural Design Competition" held by the Education Bureau and is original from its 3 designers, co-operating with the school's activity approach on teaching and making good use of space.

EFCC Evangel College Wendell Memorial Church was founded in 2008 as a gospel partner of the school, serving the school itself and the nearby neighbourhood.

The school plans to build a new education complex at a site near the school's car park, covering an area of about 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m²) and providing a gross floor area of 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m²). The estimated cost for the new complex was HK$4.6 billion, and construction was estimated to end in 2023. As the fundraising process was not ideal, the construction work has not yet begun until now.

Facilities in the school campus are distributed as follows (classrooms are on the second to fifth floors):
