Our story

God’s immeasurable grace and love is manifested toward the Chinese community in every corner of the world. We, as Chinese from China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, saved by Christ Jesus, have founded West Metro Chinese Church in order to proclaim the wonderful works of our great God. Our church’s history can be traced back to a monthly fellowship that began in 1983. As a church plant of Twin City Chinese Christian Church, we became independent on 24 September 2017.

If you would like to know more about Jesus, or if you are looking for a church, we sincerely invite you to WMCC, and experience God’s amazing grace with us.

Beliefs

Statement of Faith

  1. God

    We believe in the one and only living and true God, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of the Universe who is revealed to us in the Scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three persons of the triune God are same in essence, equal in authority, power, and glory.

    /01
  2. Scripture

    We believe that all Scriptures, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, are the plenary inspired Word of God, that they are inerrant in the original documents, and that they are the only infallible rule of Christian faith and practice. We hold the Scriptures as the final authority of all matters pertaining to this community.

    /02
  3. The Fall

    We believe in the fall of man from the primal state of moral innocence, and in the consequent common sinfulness of the human race, and that man can attain salvation only by the grace of God.

    /03
  4. Christ

    We believe in the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ, and that it is on the ground of His sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and ascension that God bestows pardon and salvation upon those who repent of sin and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord.

    /04
  5. Holy Spirit

    We believe that those who repent of sin and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord become the temples of the Holy Spirit, by whose gracious influences and by obedience to God’s inspired truth they are progressively led and sanctified.

    /05
  6. Church Universal

    We believe in the spiritual, universal church which is the body of Christ and Jesus Christ is the head. All Christians are baptized into this body by the Holy Spirit at the time of their conversion.

    /06
  7. Visible Church

    We believe in an organized visible church, in the ministry of the Word, in the Lord’s Day devoted to rest, worship and service, and that the ordinances of the Church are baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

    /07
  8. Last Things

    We believe in the glorious future reign of Christ over all the earth; in the bodily resurrection of the dead, and after this the judgment, when the unbelieving shall go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal.

    /08

Our Distinctives

  1. Perseverance

    We hold that all truly born again Christians are preserved by the perpetual intercession of Jesus, our High Priest, and will not lose their salvation.

    /09
  2. Sexual Holiness

    We hold that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity is to be engaged outside of marriage. We hold that any form of homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex.

    /10
  3. Marriage

    We hold that God has ordained marriage as the union for life of one man and one woman.

    /11
  4. Sanctity of Life

    We hold that any active termination of innocent human life, including but not limited to abortion and euthanasia, is a violation of God’s command.
