Telugu families gathered in the name of the Lord with the sole aim to worship
and glorify Him in our native language, 'TELUGU' and to receive his
blessings. This church
was registered under the non-profit organization in the The Rt. Rev. B. P. Sugandhar, Bishop in
Medak, CSI inaugurated the church on August 15th, 1999. Subsequently
on March 27th, 2000 to protect its uniqueness the name was amended as: "Church of South India - Telugu
Congregation - New York, Inc." Presently we worship at: Statement
of Faith: 1.
We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, as the
inspired and written Word of God, without error in the original writings, as
the complete revelation of His Will for the salvation of all people, as the
final authority for all Christian faith and practice. 2.
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect
and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit in
accordance with the Apostle’s Creed* and the Nicene Creed*. 3.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the true God and true man,
having been conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He died
on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Further, He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and sits at the
right hand of the God the Father Almighty. 4.
We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell
into sin and is therefore lost; and that he cannot gain salvation by his own
reason or strength save through regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith
in Jesus Christ. 5.
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify
the Lord Jesus Christ, to regenerate the sinner by guiding, instructing, in
the believer for Godly living and service. 6.
We believe that we are justified by God’s grace through the
redemption that is in Jesus Christ through faith by His atoning work. And
whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 7.
We believe that God provides means of Grace by which we can
receive His mercy and forgiveness. We are baptized and made heirs of his 8.
We believe in the imminent (second) coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ and that this Blessed Hope has a vital bearing on the personal life
and service of the believer. 9.
We acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; we believe
in the bodily resurrection of the dead; and in the everlasting blessedness
and joy with the Lord. And so, we subscribe to the letter and spirit of both the
Apostle’s Creed* and the Nicene Creed*. |
