Statement of Fundamental Truths
This "Statement of Fundamental Truths" contains the 16 doctrines of the Assemblies of God. These are non-negotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to. Four of these, Salvation, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing, and the Second Coming of Christ are considered Cardinal Doctrines which are essential to the church's core mission of reaching the world for Christ.
Lead Pastor
Pastor Teng Vu
Pastor Teng became the lead pastor of Life in Christ Church in 2021. God miraculously saved him from a life of destruction and drug addiction when he met the Lord while in Minnesota and Adult Teen Challenge in 2003. After he graduated from the program, he moved to North Dakota in 2004 and helped to start the state’s first North Dakota Adult & Teen Challenge Program. After returning to Minnesota in 2007, he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies from North Central University in 2013.
Through Pastor Teng’s passionate preaching style, zeal to win souls into God’s Kingdom, and gift of leadership, he encourages everyone to keep the main thing, the main thing: reaching people, communities, and the nations for Christ. He is committed to fostering an intergenerational church and sharing the Gospel to the Hmong community and beyond. He is married to his wife, Nhia, and they have four children.
In addition to leading Life in Christ Church, he serves as the Hmong AG Fellowship president. The Hmong AG Fellowship is a network of 18 Hmong Assemblies of God churches in the United States.
