WHO WE ARE?
The HOUSE OF BLESSING is a place for all nations to encounter Jesus Christ. To bless people and be a blessing to others—that is the vision of the House of Blessing. We reach out to God, our Father. Jesus Christ shows us the way. We allow ourselves to be guided by him and the Holy Spirit and are ready to be transformed and used by him.
WHAT WE BELIEF
We believe that the God of the Bible, as Creator of heaven and earth, is the origin and perfecter of all life and reveals himself to us as the triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Bible, as Holy Scripture inspired by God's Spirit and the guide for our faith, actions, and teachings, provides us with this insight.
We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became human for our salvation; conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Through his death on the cross and his resurrection, he took upon himself all the sins of humanity, thereby offering reconciliation with God and eternal life to every person through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit, through faith in Jesus Christ, creates new life in the believer, dwells within as divine help, and empowers them to live a life pleasing to God. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit equips people with power and gifts, enabling believers to proclaim the Gospel and to serve the church and the world.
We believe that the church, as a local community of life, faith, and service, is the spiritual home established by God for all believers. Through baptism, believers are added to the church based on their personal confession of the forgiveness of sins and their faith in Jesus Christ. In the Lord's Supper, as a memorial meal and a sign of fellowship and participation in their Lord Jesus Christ, the church proclaims the death and resurrection of Jesus in anticipation of his return in power and glory.
