FAITH

This church recognizes the Holy Bible as the sufficient source of faith and practice, and holds that living in accordance with the teaching of Jesus Christ is the true test of fellowship. Each member shall have the undisturbed right to follow the Word of God according to the dictates of his own conscience, under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. The following statement of faith is an expressions of spirit in which this church interprets the Word of God.

“We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father, and to His deeds we testify; He calls the worlds into being creates man in His own image and sets before Him the wais of life and death. He seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin. He judges men and nations by His righteous will declared through prophets and apostles. In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen lord, He has come to us and shares our common lot conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to Himself. He bestows upon us His Holy Spirit creating and renewing the Church of Jesus Christ binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues and races. He calls us into His church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be His servants in the service of men, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share Christ’s baptism and eat at His table, to join Him in His passion and victory. He promises to all who trust Him forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, His presence in trial and rejoicing and eternal life in His kingdom which has no end. Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto Him. Amen.”

COVENANTS

Through Christ strengthening us, without whom we can do nothing, we here in the presence of God, and of this assembly give up ourselves, soul and body, and all that we have, are and shall be, unto God, through Jesus Christ to serve Him forever, and to be His, and at His disposal in all things. We propose to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, to be his disciples, to be taught and governed by Him in all our relations and conversations in this world, declaring Him to be our Supreme Lord and Redeemer. And we do further bind ourselves, in the strength of Christ to walk with this Church in all His ordinances, and with the members thereof in all member-like love and submission.
