Faith, Family, and Community

我们信

圣父，圣子，圣灵，同为三而一之独一真神，圣洁，公义，信实，慈爱，并为昔在，今在，永在，全知，全在之全能者，并为创造天地万物之主宰。

(申六：4；太廿八：19；林后十三：14)

我们信

圣子耶稣基督，为父神的独生爱子，与父神原为一，由圣灵感孕童贞女马利亚，道成肉身，降世为人，为救赎我们而生。因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀，天下人间并无赐下别的名使我们可以靠着得救。祂为我们的罪死于十字架上，被埋葬，于第三天复活，升天，现今坐在父神的右边为众圣徒祈求，将来还要回来，荣耀降临，审判万有，建立天国。 (约一：1，2，14，18；路一：34，35；罗三：24-26；徒四：12；林前十五：3-4；罗八：3，4；启十九：11-16；启廿：1-6)

我们信

圣灵保惠师，是与圣父，圣子同尊同荣，为要启示，见证与荣耀主耶稣基督，使人为罪，为义，为审判，自己责备自己，引导人进入真理，成为圣洁，结出圣灵的果子。人接受了主耶稣就有圣灵内住，就有神的生命，成为神的子民。 (约十六：8-11，13)

我们信

圣经，新旧约共有六十六卷，完全是神所默示的，于教训督责，使人归正，教导人学义等都是有益的，叫属神的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。除此之外再无别的经典与圣经同等。一切的启示应以圣经为本，众圣徒之验证为依。 （提后三：15-17；彼后一：20；诗十九：7-9）

我们信

人是照着神的形像被造，因背逆神而堕落，以致罪与死临到世人，并与神隔绝。将来死人都要复活，且照着个人所行的接受审判。故人必须重生，只有接受耶稣基督为个人救主，相信耶稣的流血代赎才得蒙赦罪，获得永生。人得救是本乎恩，也因着信，不是靠人的行为。 （创一：26；三：1-24；罗三：10-18；五：12；弗二：8,9）

我们信

教会是基督的身体，由圣灵所建立，是永生神的家；以耶稣为元首，由重生得救的信徒所组成，在基督里互相联络为肢体。教会的使命是向万民传福音，领人归主，并造就信徒，建立基督的身体。 （弗一：22,23；林前十二：13；徒二：42；十三：1）

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are identical in essence, equal in power and glory, and possess precisely the same attributes and perfections. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Revelation 1:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14) 

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. This redemption He accomplished by voluntarily giving Himself as a substitutionary sacrifice on the cross, and thereby satisfying God's righteous judgments against sin. After substantiating the accomplishment of that redemption by His bodily resurrection from the grave, He ascended to the right hand of His Father where He intercedes on behalf of those who trust Him. (John 1:1, 2, 14, 18; Luke 1:34, 35; Romans 3:24-26; Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 8:3-4; Revelation 19:11-16; Revelation 20:1-6) 

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Person who convicts the world of sin, that He alone brings new life to those who are spiritually dead, that He baptizes all believers into the one true Church, which is the Body of Christ, that He indwells them permanently, seals them unto the day of redemption, bestows spiritual gifts upon them, and fills those who yield to Him. (John 16:8-11,13) 

We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, totaled sixty-six books, to be the inspired word of God, written by men in God's control, inerrant and infallible in the original manuscripts, and the final authority in faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20; Psalm 19:7-9) 

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God in innocence and without sin, but in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, became spiritually dead and alienated from God, and now man himself is incapable of remedying his lost and depraved condition. Only in accepting Christ as our personal Savior and in cleansing our sin with His blood, we shall receive eternal life. Man's salvation is the gift of God's grace and is because of our faith, not a result of our works. (Genesis 1:26; 3:1-24; Romans 3:10-18; 5:12; Ephesians 2:8-9) 

We believe that the true Church is the Body of Christ, a home to the eternal God, built by the Holy Spirit. The head of the Church is Jesus Christ and the redeemed believers join together as the Body. The mission of the Church is to spread the gospel and to lead people to Christ for building up His body. (Ephesians 1:22, 23; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Acts 2:42; 13:1) 

 2024年五月有七个家庭在 圣灵的感动下决定成立一个非宗派的华人教会、这标志着 “德中华人基督教会” 的诞生。创立之初主日聚会及周五查经都在三个家庭里轮流聚会、周三晚在线上祷告会。当时同工祷告寻求 神为我们预备一个愿意接纳并提供我们聚会场地的教会。 Temple Bible Church(TBC) 是第一个接触的教会, 感谢 神, TBC的牧师们听了我们的异象及需求、即刻答应并不收取任何费用。 2024年十月所有聚会正式使用TBC场地。2025年德中华人基督教会已取得德州及税务局为非营利宗教团体免税证明。   

 In May 2024, seven families, inspired by the Holy Spirit, decided to establish a non-denominational Chinese Church—this was the birth of "Central Texas Chinese Christian Church (CTCCC)" Initially, Sunday services and Friday Bible studies were held in rotation among three families, with online prayer meetings on Wednesday nights. At that time, the co-workers were seeking God with prayers to prepare a church willing to accept us and provide a meeting place. Temple Bible Church (TBC) was the first church we contacted. Praise God, the pastors of TBC heard our vision and needs and immediately agreed without charging any fees. In October 2024, all meetings officially began using the TBC facility. 2025 CTCCC has obtained tax-exempt certification from the Texas State Department and US IRS as a non-profit religious organization.
 

 我们的使命是向 Temple 周边地区的华人朋友传福音，提供服务；借崇拜、团契和教导，建立基督的身体；同时参与普世宣教，以达到荣神益人的目的。欢迎您来到我们属灵的家。
 

 Our mission is to share the gospel and provide services to the Chinese community in the surrounding area of Temple; to build up the body of Christ through worship, fellowship, and teaching; and to participate in global missions to glorify God and benefit others. Welcome to our spiritual home.”
