“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.” -1 Corinthians 12:12-13
What we believe…
Every group has a personality. Certain things matter more than others to the group. Our intention is that this church becomes a place where the love of God is truly and freely expressed. People should feel safe, welcome and accepted here. Friendships made here should be built to last. Every disagreement should end in reconciliation. Broken relationships are Satan’s successes.
The previous paragraph speaks of our relationships to the other people in our church. Our relationship to those outside should also display the love God showed each of us before we knew Him. We want to reach out to others, to share Christ with our families, friends and neighbors. To “go about doing good”, as it was said of Jesus.
As part of a larger body (the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination), we hold the core values and statement of faith in common with the other churches in our organization. Our specific calling includes some distinctives that we want to be true of our group specifically. It is our hope that each member of our group would be united in one vision. This vision includes the core values of the CMA, and the vision we have here at the Filipino American Bible Fellowship.
Our vision…
We want to teach Christians to refer to scripture as the guide and authority for all of life both in practice and doctrine.
We want to motivate mature believers to “be about the Father’s business”. We are not here on vacation. We are here on a mission to advance the cause of Christ in this present day.
We want to create opportunities for believers to share Christ through home bible studies.
We want to intentionally reach out to the Filipino-American community.
The Alliance
The U.S. Alliance is part of a Christ-centered global movement more than 6 million strong. Our Acts 1:8 family—inspired by Jesus’ love and empowered by His Spirit—is passionate to bring the good news about Him to our neighborhoods and world.
As an Alliance church plant, we celebrate the rich international family of Jesus-followers that we are part of and rejoice that we get to participate in a broad movement for delivering the good news of Jesus Christ to the world.
