Discipling God’s Covenant People
What We Believe
Grace is God's loving action in human existence through the Holy Spirit. God endows each person with dignity and moral responsibility. The full splendor of true humanity is seen in Jesus Christ. Change in the human heart can and does occur through grace and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism ushers you in to the Christian church universe, the family of Christ. Through baptism, we accept God's gift of grace through Jesus Christ and yields our lives to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Water is the special symbol of baptism. One can be baptized at any age. Sprinkling is most commonly used, but immersion is also permissible.
Sacrament of Holy Communion
This is a holy meal ofbread and juice that symbolizes the body and blood of Christ. By sharing this meal, we give thanks for Jesus Christ's sacrifice for our sins. Holy Communion recalls the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and celebrates the unity of all the members of God's family. Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him, who earnestly repent oftheir sins, and seek to love in peace with one another. You do not have to be a United Tamil Church of Houston member to receive communion with us.
