Jesus Christ Himself taught how the Kingdom is built.
In His high priestly prayer, He revealed the pathway to Kingdom transformation:
“I in them and You in Me, that they may become perfectly one,
so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You loved Me.”
— John 17:23
Therefore, FCI is deeply committed to uniting the Churches as one in Christ, nurturing them in the love of God, and building up the Kingdom of God with Christlike unity.
ARTICLES OF FAITH
We uphold and confess the following foundational Christian doctrines:
- The Trinity
We believe in One God who exists eternally in three co-equal, co-eternal persons:
God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. - The Nature of Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who became man, was crucified, died, buried, and rose again from the dead for our salvation. - The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person who indwells believers, guides them, comforts them, and imparts spiritual gifts for the edification of the Church. - The Church
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ — both universal and local — called to proclaim the Gospel and expand the Kingdom of God on earth. - Salvation
We believe that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, expressed through repentance and baptism, leading to a transformed life in Christ. - The Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, infallible and authoritative, and the primary source of divine revelation.
With these foundations, we stand firm on the prophecy of our Lord Jesus Christ:
“And I have other sheep that are not of this fold.
I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice.
So there will be one flock, one Shepherd.”
— John 10:16
