Salvation
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice to satisfy divine justice. All who believe in Him and repent of their sins are declared forgiven on the ground of His shed blood, and are born again by the quickening, cleansing work of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the Word of God. All those who receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour become children of God and have eternal life.
We believe that our Lord was raised from the dead to secure our justification according to the Scriptures, and that His resurrection body is the pattern of that body which, at the return of Christ, will be given to all resurrected believers.

The Church
We believe that the Church is a living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members. The Church in her invisible form is universal, the true Body and Bride of Christ. The Church in her visible form is composed of believers who assemble themselves for the purpose of worship, edification, spiritual growth and service.

Sacraments
We believe that baptism is a means of grace in which the use of water is a testimony before the world that God has cleansed the believer from sin, has received him into His Church, and has claimed him as always and wholly His.
The Chinese Evangelical Church of San Diego takes no official position as to the mode of baptism to be administered. The choice of infant baptism or dedication is left to the discretion of the parents of the child.
The Lord's Supper is a sacrament given by Jesus Christ as a memorial act in remembrance of His death on our behalf. Believers should come to the Lord's Supper with searching of heart, with inward confession of our sins to the Lord, with glad assurance of God's forgiveness in Jesus Christ, and with confidence that He will give us new strength to serve Him. When we partake the elements in this manner, the Supper is made a medium through which God does communicate grace to the heart.

The Christian Life
We believe that we are called with a holy calling to live a life pleasing to God and to grow daily in grace. We need constantly be cleansed and kept by the Holy Spirit in subjection to Christ through a close walk with the Lord, feeding upon the Word of God, and devoting whole-heartedly to fellowship and prayer.

The Future
We believe in the personal visible return of Jesus Christ. He will come for His saints to gather them to Himself; and with his saints to judge the nations and to establish upon earth His Messianic Kingdom. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just to eternal fellowship in the glory of His presence and with one another; and in the bodily resurrection of the unjust to eternal separation from God in hell.
