The Church in Santa Clara was established in September, 1994, after much prayer and fellowship among its members, and began to meet near Benton St. and Lawrence Expressway in Santa Clara. At that time, the congregation totaled nearly 100 members; there were appox. 50 English-speaking and 50 Chinese-speaking believers who began to meet as the church in Santa Clara. Since that time, the congregation has enjoyed the rich blessing of the Lord and continues to see a constant increase in membership. In the fall of 1997, a Spanish speaking meeting was begun in order to accommodate those fluent in Spanish and in 1998, a Korean speaking meeting was added, as well. Today, church membership totals more than 200 functioning members who meet in four different languages to worship and serve the living God.
       We are Christians who have received the Lord Jesus Christ and have been regenerated with the very life of God to be His children. According to 2 Peter, we are partakers of the divine nature. As Christians, we are, above all, believers. We believe in the Bible, in God, in Christ, in the Holy Spirit, and in God's redemption and salvation. Also, we believe that membership in the Body of Christ is based upon regeneration with the divine life and is, therefore, organic.
       We believe the Scriptures are the divinely inspired Word of God, revealing God's eternal purpose for man.
       We believe that God is one, yet He is three. He is the three-one or Triune God. He is the Father, Son and Spirit, Who reaches man as the life-giving Spirit.
       We believe that our Lord's death on the cross accomplished an all-inclusive redemption for fallen man that we may be returned to our original owner, God. We have been fully redeemed according to 1 Peter 1:18-19. Christ's redemption issues in our salvation, a salvation not merely from eternal perdition, but much more a living salvation in life (Romans 5:10). Our salvation is the very God, whom we lost through the fall of Adam, becoming our eternal portion for us to enjoy! To participate in this salvation, one need only to repent and believe.
       In addition, according to John 4, we meet regularly to worship God and to enjoy the very presence of the Lord Jesus.
       We warmly invite you to come and visit us on Sunday morning at 3550 Benton St. in Santa Clara. Our 11:00 a.m. fellowship meeting focuses on the mutual speaking of all the members, centering on the Word of God. We have classes for children up through the age of junior high school. We look forward to meeting you and your family.
