About | Hue.Church · Bay Area Church, Santa Clara CA

Our Conviction

We are a Bible-believing,
Bible-preaching, Bible-practicing church.

Not a trend. Not a mood board. Scripture is the ground everything else is built on — what we preach on Sunday, how we lead midweek, and how we practice it with the people God brings through our doors.

Dr. Sam Perli and Ps. Immanuel Perli are third-generation pastors. Their parents, Pastor Israel Perli and Pastor Ignatius Perli, lead Full Gospel Church across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, India — decades of ministry that shaped how we lead here in Santa Clara.

What We Believe

Statement of faith.

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and worthy of all worship.

We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as an atoning sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended to heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father.

We believe the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer from the moment of salvation. He empowers believers for godly living, service, and witness. He convicts of sin, guides into truth, and bestows spiritual gifts for the building up of the church.

We believe all people are created in the image of God but have fallen through sin, which separates us from God. Every person is in need of redemption and cannot save themselves.

We believe salvation is a free gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Not by works. It is by grace through faith that we are saved, and this salvation is available to all who believe.

We believe in the reality of heaven and hell. Those who place their faith in Jesus Christ will spend eternity with God in heaven. Those who reject Him will face eternal separation from God.

Heaven Upon Earth.
