About
Church History
Atlanta Chinese Christian Church North (ACCCN) was planted by Tucker's Atlanta Chinese Christian Church (ACCC). Since 1990, a large number of Chinese immigrants have moved to the Greater Atlanta area, especially in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. The number of believers entering the church has also increased accordingly. In order to spread the gospel, the church workers of Atlanta Chinese Christian Church (ACCC) prayed, thought, and planned to plant a church in the northern suburbs.

Confession of Faith
1. The Bible
We believe that the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired word of God, originally without error, recording God's revealed plan to redeem mankind, and is the highest authority for Christian faith and life.
2. God
We believe in the eternal Holy Father, Holy Son, and Holy Spirit as the one true God, the Creator of all things, and the Sustainer of all creation.
3. Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, both God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He was crucified for the sins of the world, physically resurrected, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Most High. He is our great High Priest and intercedes for us.
4. The Holy Spirit
We believe that the work of the Holy Spirit is to convict people of sin, lead them to repentance, regenerate, and bring them to faith. The Holy Spirit indwells, guides, and teaches believers, empowering them to live a godly life, serve faithfully, testify for the Lord, and glorify God while benefiting others.
5. Humanity
We believe that humanity was created in the image of God. Through Adam's fall, humanity became sinners in need of God's salvation. Only through the rebirth by the Holy Spirit and faith in Jesus Christ can one be justified and reconciled with God.
6. Redemption
We believe that the shedding of Christ's blood, His death, and resurrection are the only foundation for our justification and redemption. Only those who are reborn by the Holy Spirit and who accept Jesus Christ by faith become children of God.
7. Sacraments
We believe that baptism and the Lord's Supper are sacraments that the church should observe, but they do not have the power to save.
8. The Church
We believe that the Church is one body, with Christ as the head, uniting all believers who are reborn by the Holy Spirit. Through worship, sacraments, fellowship, service, testimony, and evangelism, the church edifies believers and accomplishes the mission entrusted to it.
9. Second Coming
We believe that Jesus Christ will personally return in bodily form at the end of days to judge the living and the dead. This glorious hope serves as the foundation for the believer's life and ministry.
10. Eternal Life
We believe in the resurrection of the body; believers will be resurrected to eternal life, while the unbelievers will be resurrected to eternal punishment.
