About our Church
The Christian Center of National City is a bible-based, innovative
church, whose purpose is to serve God with passion, brings others to
Christ and to serve our community. Our multi-cultural church
reflects the beliefs of the Apostolic and Pentecostal movement. We
embrace the Pentecostal view that speaking in tongues is the initial
sign of receiving the Holy Spirit.
About the Bible
We hold a fundamental view that the Bible is the only God-given
authority which man possesses, and that all doctrine, faith, hope,
and all instructions for the church must be based upon and in
alignment with the Holy Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, and
therefore inerrant and infallible.
About Salvation
The Christian Center of National City holds that salvation is by
grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works. Faith in Jesus is
the means by which a person is justified. At the same time, a sinner
must believe the gospel; he is commanded to repent of his sinful
life, to be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ, and to
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38; 4:12; 8:12-17;
10:43-48; 19:1-6). Thus the various aspects of faith and obedience
work together in God's grace to reconcile us to God.
About God
We hold to a oneness view of God.
The Christian Center of National City teaches that the one God who
revealed Himself in the Old Testament as Jehovah, revealed himself
in His Son, Jesus Christ. Thus Jesus Christ was and is God. In other
words, Jesus is the one true God manifested in flesh, for in Him
dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (John 1:1-14; I
Timothy 3:16; Colossians 2:9).
While fully God, Jesus was also fully man, possessing a full and true humanity. He was both God and man. Moreover, the Holy Spirit is God with us and in us. Thus God is manifested as Father in creation and as the Father of the Son, in the Son for our redemption, and as the Holy Spirit in our regeneration.
About Family & Fellowship
The Christian Center of National City strongly supports the family
unit as God's primary institution and teaches that the church is
God's redemptive fellowship for all believers.
