About Gospel Community Church

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired by God in its 66 Books, both the Old and the New Testament. The whole Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit and is without error in the original manuscripts. Through it, God revealed all His intentions to men; it has supreme authority in the life of the believer and of the church in all matters of faith and conduct. For the right understanding, a Christian must approach the Bible with humility and dependence on the help of the Holy Spirit.

We believe in one, true and living, sovereign and all glorious God; eternally existing in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. These are equal in every divine perfection. They execute distinct yet harmonious offices in creation, providence and redemption.

We believe that Jesus obtained forgiveness of sins and perfect righteousness for all who trust in Him. This, He achieved by His perfect life and obedience to God, His suffering and death as a propitiation in our place in order that we may be justified before God. By His death, Jesus atoned for human sin and that atonement is the warrant by which any elect of God, in any nation, believes in Jesus and receives the gift of salvation.

We uphold the unity of the believers and we believe in cooperation with others. While remaining fallible and therefore open to correction by Scripture, we believe that this statement contains the essentials we hold foundational (in different proportions). Our aim is to do our best to embrace the whole counsel of God by allowing the Bible to fully bear on both the faith and practice of all GCC members and/in all churches to the glory of God. We believe in the unity of Christians, not by trying to lower or distort the doctrine but rather by a clear exaltation of the truth. All GCC churches, missions, ministries and social initiatives abide with this statement. We are open to working with other Christian churches and organizations provided that Biblical standards are not compromised.

We believe that at the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit indwells every believer permanently. He is our Comforter, Counsellor, and Sanctifier. The Spirit convicts us of sin, guides us into truth, and produces in us the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22–23). We believe the Holy Spirit still gives spiritual gifts to believers today for the building up of the Church and the advancement of the gospel. We are to walk in step with the Spirit and not quench his work in our lives.

We believe in the personal, bodily, and glorious return of Jesus Christ. His second coming will be visible and triumphant. At that time, he will raise the dead, judge all humanity, and establish his eternal kingdom in which righteousness will fully dwell. Believers will receive glorified bodies and dwell with God forever. Those who have rejected Christ will face eternal separation from God. This hope of Christ's return motivates us to live holy, purposeful, and evangelistic lives always ready, always watchful, always faithful to the mission he has given us.
