About Us

The City Fellowship Centre (TCFC) is a Christ-centered, Bible-based network of worshiping communities organised as small cell-groups.

TCFC began in response to a vision to raise a community that gives priority to God by loving Him and loving people. ​Our humble beginnings in 1990 as a worship-and-Bible-study group led to the formation of a full-fledged Community of God in 1995 in Green Park in the southern part of New Delhi.

TCFC Noida was established in 2024 after a sustained prayer drive that sought God’s blessings on the state of Uttar Pradesh. The first meeting was held on 8 Sept 2024. The community of disciples meet every Sunday at 10 am in BL-69, Noida Sector 116. Three families offer their leadership services to the community.

Statement of Faith

1. We believe in the plenary-verbal inspirationPlenary-verbal inspiration is a belief that the entire Bible (plenary) is divinely inspired, not just the ideas or underlying message, but also the specific words (verbal) used by the human authors. This means God guided the writers to choose the exact words they used when writing the Bible of the accepted canonCanon means rule or standard. The collection of books that Christians consider as the standard for their beliefs is also referred to the canon of Scriptures as originally given. The Scriptures are infallible, inerrant, and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Corinthians 2:13).​

2. We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as One GodChristianity upholds monotheism. God is one. existing in Three PersonsThere is only one God just as there is only one humanity. We are many persons but we are still just one humanity. Similarly, the three Persons in the one godhead do not result in three Gods.—Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisibleThe Father, Son, and Spirit are distinct persons with unique roles and functions. They are not to be confused with one another. Yet they share the same divine essence. (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).​

3. We believe in the creation narrative, including the test and fall of manThe term MAN is used in the generic sense, indicating humanity. At that time, humanity included the initial human couple: both man and his wife. as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravityHumanity was corrupted by sin. Having sinned, we are unable to pull ourselves out of this quagmire. We cannot rescue ourselves from sin or present ourselves as acceptable before God and inability to attain to divine righteousness (Romans 5:12, 18).​

4. We believe in the Lord Jesus ChristThe term “Christ” is not Jesus’ surname. It’s the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew term (Messiah) for a Jewish king. Jesus was born in the royal family of David as the king who should rule over Israel forever. The Jews are still waiting for ther Christ while Christians believe that Jesus is the Christ.: the Saviour of men; conceived of the Holy Spirit; born of the VirginJesus was born to Mary before she had any sexual relations with any man. How do we know? Mary was among the first Christians. She was alive when the Gospels were written. Mary; very God and very ManJesus, the second person of Godhead took up human flesh. He existed prior to His birth as a man. He was fully God and fully human. (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:14-18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6).​

5. We believe Jesus died for our sinsGod cannot leave sin unpunished. Jesus, the sinless second person of the Godhead, became a man in order to take up humanity’s punishment for sin., was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to hundreds of His disciples (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25).​

6. We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltationJesus went up to heaven in full sight of his disciples. God crowned Him King (Messiah/Christ). His name is above all other names. He rules heaven and earth. He is Lord., and personal, literal and bodily return the second time for His Church (John 14:2,3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).​

7. We believe in the salvationChristian concept of salvation is about not an escape (moksha) from the body or the material world. It is about deliverance from divine punishment for sin. The punishment for sin is eternal death and separation from God. of sinners by God’s graceGrace means undeserved blessing. Salvation is a free gift, a blessing from God, given to undeserving humans who choose to depend on God. Salvation cannot be earned., obtained through repentanceGod commands all sinners to repent. Repentance is more than just remorse for one’s sins. To repent means to hate sin and to turn away from sin. God expects a broken and contrite heart. and faith in the perfect and sufficient Jesus’ has done everything required to make us acceptable before God and to make His forgiveness available to us. No more human effort is needed. This is what sets Christianity apart from all other religions. work of Jesus on the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8,9; Hebrews 9:12; Romans 5:11).

​8. We believe in the necessity of water baptismThe term baptism means cleansing by immersion. Baptism originally was a Jewish custom. Jesus commanded his disciples to get baptized. Through immersion in water, a repentant sinner accepts Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection as his own death, burial and resurrection. Thus, a baptised Christian dies with Christ and rises again with Christ to live a new life. by immersion in the Name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6).​

9. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit God promised to come and dwell inside each of His people through His Spirit. John the Bapitizer referred to the gift of God’s Spirit as an “immersion” of sorts in the Spirit. Hence the phrase “baptism in the Spirit.” The phrase itself is absent in the Bible except in the verb form. as a real experience at or subsequent to salvation, with the Scriptural evidence, namely, speaking in other tongues When the earliest Christians received God’s Spirit, they spoke God’s message in languages they had not learned. This is called Glossolalia or ‘speaking in other tongues.’ The Pentecostal movement, from AD1901 insisted that Glossolalia is the evidence of having received the Holy Spirit. as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15).​

10. We believe in the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12-14, as manifested in the Early Church.​

11. We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation This potentially misleading expression does not mean that Christians must stay aloof from the world. It just means that they swim against the current, in opposition to every godless practice and belief. A “separated” life is a life devoted to God. from the world and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as expressing the true Christian faith (Ephesians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 6:14; 7:1).

​12. We believe in the healing of the body This just means that we believe God can heal a sick person in answer to our prayers. This is not “faith healing.” The focus is not on human ability to heal anyone. God is our Creator and Healer. by Divine power, or Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church (Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14).​

13. We believe in the table of the Lord, commonly called the Communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers (1 Corinthians 11:28-32; Matt. 26:26-28).

​14. We believe in the reality and personality Evil is not just a “power” or “negative energy.” There is an evil person whom the Lord Jesus called “the evil one” or devil. of the devil (Satan) and eternal judgment in the Lake of Fire for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:14, 15).​

15. We believe in eternal life Christianity has a linear view of time. There are no endless cycles of births and deaths. To have life eternal is to have the life of God—forever. There is no loss of identity. We do not merge into God. We retain our identity and live with God forever. for believers (John 5:24; 3:16), and eternal punishment for the unbelievers (Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:10-15).

​16. We believe that there is one true universal Church, made up of genuine disciples of Christ, but this one universal Church finds her expression in many local Churches in numerous localities. Each of these local Churches is under the sovereign Headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as the propagation of the Gospel (Acts 15:22; with Matt. 16:18; 18:15-20).

​17. We believe that Government is ordained of God, and the powers that be are ordained as ministers of God to us for good. To resist the powers and the ordinances is to resist the ordinance of God. We remain subject not only to avoid punishment but also to maintain a good conscience, rendering to all their dues, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.gfdsa We declare our loyalty to our Government and its leaders and will assist in every way possible consistent with our faith in the Scriptures as Christian citizens (Romans 13).
