We believe the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, is the verbally inspired Word of God, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

We believe in the one, true and living God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son and 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 where at the right hand of the Majesty on high. He now is High Priest and advocate. He will return imminently and personally according to His promise.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of 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 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 are in need of God's salvation.

We believe that repentant 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 just to eternal life and of the unjust 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.

In the Spring of 1964, Rev. Philip Lee and a few dedicated Christian friends felt the urgent need of a spiritual home for fellow Chinese Christian in New York City and thus started a meeting every Friday evening in Rev. Lee's apartment for Bible Study, prayer and fellowship. By summer, we began to have Sunday services. The congregation grew rapidly, so we had to move to larger and larger meeting places. In 1969, we came to our present church building and we incorporated with the New York State authority as a local church. The church was formed through faith and by the grace of God. We had many hardships but God carried us through.

We believe that the holy Scripture is the inspired Word of God, the complete revalation of his will for the salvation of men and the divine and final authority of all Christian faith and life. We wish this church may serve as a spiritual home for brothers and sisters and as out reach center for friends who may come to acknowledge Jesus Christ through various church organized activities. We trust that God will help us to bring living water to the thirsty, warmth to the homeless and blessings to all.
