About Chinese Baptist Church
Who We Are
Our church began in 1953, evolving out of a mission to Chinese immigrants by First Baptist Church. After its inception, our church experienced great growth and in 1975, the church moved from its original downtown location to our present location here in the near west area of Houston.
Three congregations have formed out of the original one. In 1979, separate English and Cantonese-speaking services were established to meet the generational and cultural needs of each congregation. A separate Mandarin worship began in early 2013 . Although these three congregations are separate, we are still united as one church and share the same burden to minister to those God places around us.
Our Mission Statement
It is our desire to equip each generation to:
| Celebrate the King, |
| Become Like Christ, and |
| Connect the Lost. |
Connect
Come join us as we connect with God through our
worship services and special events. We want
to share our joy in praising God and celebrating our King with you. Come fellowship with us...or just come to
have a good time.
Grow
Grow together closer to God and become more like Christ through studying and unlocking the mysteries of God's Word. Sunday School, Bible Study and Fellowships are some of the opportunities for discussions, learning, discipleship and spiritual growth.
Serve
The natural outcome of growth is the desire to share the love we receive from God. We are commanded to
"connect the lost". We serve the world in our involvement with
missions, volunteering and
ministry.
What We Believe
1.
God
We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost--equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.
2.
The Bible
The Bible is the core of our teaching and preaching. It is one way in which God has revealed Himself to us. It speaks as powerfully today as it has for centuries, providing hope and practical guidance for our daily living.
3.
Baptism
Baptism is the immersion in water of a believer, into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, to demonstrate our faith in the crucified, buried and risen Savior Jesus Christ. It is also the prerequisite to the privileges of a church relation and the Lord's Supper.
