CCMC Church Faith & Mission

信仰立场与使命 FAITH & MISSION

我们的信仰立场

我们相信全部新旧约圣经都是神所默示的，是基督徒信仰生活的最高准则。
我们相信永存的圣父、圣子、圣灵，乃三位一体的独一真神。
我们相信圣父乃天地万物之创造者、统治者及维护者。
我们相信圣子耶稣基督是真神也是真人，由圣灵感孕，为童贞女马利亚所生，被钉死于十字架上，流血为人赎罪，第三日从死里复活、升天，在荣耀至高者的右边，祂將按照应许，亲自再临。
我们相信唯有圣子耶稣将神本体的真像显明给人，若不借着祂，没有人能到父神那里去。
我们相信圣灵，与圣父、圣子同质、同权、同存。祂的工作是使人知罪、重生；并住在圣徒心中，引遵、督责、扶助，使其过大有能力的生活，荣神益人。
我们相信人是照神的形像造的，在亚当里堕落成为罪人，不能自救。
我们相信罪人唯赖神的恩典得以重生，并因信耶稣基督得以称义。
我们相信信徒身体复活得永生。
我们相信教会是一体的，以基督为元首，由圣灵所重生的人组成，在敬拜、交通、传福音及事奉上发挥功用。

Our Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe in the one, true and living God, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

We believe in God the Father, the Creator, Ruler and Sustainer of heaven and earth and everything therein.

We believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ, true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross and shed His blood as an atonement for the sins of men, and was raised bodily from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Majesty on High. He is now our High Priest and Advocate. We believe in His imminent return according to His promise.

We believe Jesus Christ is the radiance of God’s glory and no one comes to the Father except through Him.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Godhead, who is of one substance, equal in power, and co-existent with the Father and the Son. His ministry is to convict men, regenerate the believing sinners, and to indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believers for godly living and service.

We believe that man was created in the image and the likeness of God, but in Adam all men have fallen into sin, and as sinners men cannot save themselves, but are in need of God's salvation.

We believe that penitent sinners are regenerated solely by God's grace and justified through faith in Jesus Christ.

We believe that there shall be a bodily resurrection of the believers to eternal life, and of the non-believers to eternal punishment.

We believe that the church is one body, consisting of those regenerated by the Spirit of God and of which Christ is the Head, expressing itself in worship, fellowship, evangelism and service.

Our Missions and Vision

We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of church. The church members are serving together and being obedient to one another to actively preach the Word of God to save the lost souls. We are doing our best to make our church a bridge connecting Chinese people to God. We are also trying hard to train the prayer workers who are always keeping themselves in God's will. It is believed that the Chinese people will shoulder the mission to preach the Gospel back to Jerusalem; therefore, our ultimate vision is to lead the multitude to come to God -- Glorifying God, Edifying People.

Our Faith & Mission

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
