About Body of Christ-Houston
Our Principles
Based on Scripture, we firmly believe in the principle of One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism, as stated in Ephesians 4:5.
Jesus Christ is our Lord, the exclusive pathway to God. His truth serves as the guiding message for the Church, and it is through His life being lived within us that we can truly please God, as expressed in John 14:5.
The faith we embrace is the same faith preached by the Apostles, as recorded in Acts 2:42. This faith is rooted in the promise Jesus Christ instructed His disciples to await, which is the Holy Ghost, as described in Acts 1:4-8.
Water baptism serves as a public declaration of one's faith. However, it extends beyond the physical act of immersion in water. There is also a baptism of the Holy Ghost, which signifies a transformative change in the soul, shifting from the flesh to being fully immersed in the spirit of God. This understanding is supported by Matthew 3:11-12, Acts 1:4-5, and Romans 6:1-4, 7:5, and 8:9.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create an environment that is safe for God’s people to hear, learn of him, and to develop disciples that walk in their God-given IDENTITY, INTEGRITY, and IMPACT.
Our Community
In our community, individuals from diverse backgrounds unite through a common faith and a commitment to pleasing God and following His teachings. We believe every member of the body of Christ has a valuable role in building the kingdom. By embracing unity, we fulfill God’s divine purpose of reconciling humanity to Himself.
We are steadfast in our resolve to live out Christ’s ministry as He lives His life through us (Galatians 2:20), and to teach all nations that we are now partakers of the fellowship Christ shares with the Father (John 17:20-26). Together, we are witnesses of His life and ambassadors of His reconciliation.
