MISSION
Our mission is to share God’s plan of salvation and the love of Jesus Christ with the Vietnamese community in Albuquerque and beyond.
VALUES
We value the Gospel for all and proclaim Jesus Christ so that all may receive salvation. Led by the Holy Spirit, we love others as Christ loves us, hold firmly to God’s truth with grace, and live in prayer, obedience, holiness, and service to glorify God.
WE BELIEVE
​Vietnamese Baptist Church of Albuquerque believes in the authority of the Christian Scriptures for our lives and practice. ​
GOD
We believe in one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each equal in power, glory, and essence
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 48:16; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1–3; 2 Corinthians 13:14). From eternity, God has graciously purposed to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory (Genesis 12:1–3; Isaiah 43:7; Ephesians 1:4–6; Titus 1:2; Revelation 21:5).
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man—one Person in two natures. Salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a sinless life, was crucified for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. We believe that we are saved by God’s grace through faith, not by works, so that no one may boast. Salvation is the free gift of God, accomplished through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
(John 1:1, 14; Matthew 1:18–23; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11; Romans 8:34; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 3:24)
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine and one with the Father and the Son, equal in power and glory. The Holy Spirit was active in creation, in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and in the resurrection, and continues to be present with believers and the Church. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, brings new birth and spiritual renewal, seals believers for salvation, teaches truth, comforts and strengthens God’s people, and empowers the Church for worship, unity, and service. The Spirit dwells in believers and produces a transformed life marked by love, joy, peace, and obedience to God.
(Genesis 1:2; Matthew 28:19; John 3:5; John 14:16–17; John 16:13; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:14–17; Galatians 5:22–23)
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, given to people of all generations. Written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Scriptures are not the product of human wisdom but of divine revelation and are fully authoritative for faith and life. The Bible reveals God’s love for mankind and His plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. It provides truth, comfort, hope, and spiritual nourishment, instructs believers in righteous living, and reveals God’s purposes for the future. (2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:21; Psalm 119:105; John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalm 119:11)
THE HUMAN CONDITION
We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they sinned when tempted by Satan. In union with Adam, humanity bears a sinful nature from birth, resulting in thoughts, attitudes, and actions that violate God’s holy law. Sin is rebellion against God, deceives the human heart, and falsely promises life while leading to destruction. Salvation and forgiveness are possible only through the grace of God in Jesus Christ, who redeems sinners through His sacrifice. Those who repent and place their faith in Christ receive forgiveness and eternal life. (Romans 3:10, 23; Psalm 51:5; 1 John 3:4; Romans 1:18–20; Romans 6:23; Romans 5:8; John 11:26; Acts 10:43)
