Core Beliefs

  • Bible: We believe the Bible (OT/NT) is the Word of God as the final authority of faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). 

​

  • God: We believe in God the Father who is the creator of the world. God is the one and only true God. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! (Gen. 1:1, 1 Tim. 2:5, Jer. 10:10; 1 Cor. 8: 4, 6; 1 Tim. 2:5, 6:15; 1 Jn. 5:20)

​

  • Jesus Christ: We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Savior of the world. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross to pay for our sins, raised bodily from the dead, is now seated at the Father's right side, and will soon return to earth. (Acts 4:12; 1 Cor. 15:3-8, 25-29, 51-57; Heb. 4:15).

​

  • Holy Spirit: We believe the Holy Spirit lives in every Christian, helps us, guides us, being our counselor, and the Holy Spirit is a seal that guarantees that we belong to God (1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Timothy 1:14; John 14:16-17, 16:7-13; Romans 8:26-27; Ephesians 1:13-14).

​

  • Salvation: According to the Bible, human beings have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and the wage of sin is death. (Romans 3:23; 6:23) We can be saved and have eternal life in Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23). We cannot earn our salvation, but we can have salvation by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:7-9). 

​

  • Church: The Church is the Body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). All Christians are members of Christ's body and God's spiritual family (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 2:19). The Church includes many members, united and working together as one body (1 Cor. 12:12-27; Eph 4:1-16). All believers must be united to teach others about Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:18-20; Jn. 17:20-21). The purpose of the Church's gatherings is to support and encourage one another, to join in fellowship and teaching, to give thanks to God, and to participate in the Lord's Supper (Acts 2:42–47; Acts 20:7; Col. 3:16; Heb. 10:25; Lk. 22:19). Believers are to give genuinely from our hearts (1 Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor. 8:12, 9:6-7). Believers are to live by faith and show their faith through obedience and good works (Col. 1:21-23; Jam. 2:14-26; 1 Jn. 2:3-6; Eph. 2:10)

Core Values

Being in prayer and Spirit led in all that we do

● Prayer: During Jesus Christ’s ministry, before Jesus did or made a very important decision, He always communicated with God the Father in prayer. All ministries and activities we do at LHCC, we take it to the Lord first (Matt. 7:7-11; 14:23; 26:36, 39; Lk. 5:16; 6:12; Mk. 1:35; Jn. 16:26).​

​

Being intentional in building authentic relationships

● Build relationships with the unchurched: As Christians we are always looking for a good opportunity to build relationships with non-Christians, so we can share the love of God and give His only Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins, whoever believes in Him will have eternal life through having faith in Jesus Christ. (Jn. 3:16).
