CONFESSION OF FAITH

​

We believe in the existence of one only living and true God, the creator, preserver, and governor of the universe.

We believe that the one God exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and are a revelation of His will to men, and the sufficient and only rule of faith and practice.

We believe that mankind, in their natural state, are destitute of holiness, under the power of sin, and worthy of the wrath of God.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, is the only savior of sinners, and that by His perfect obedience, sufferings, and death, He made full atonement as the only sacrifice for sin, so that all who believe in Him will surely be saved.

We believe that due to the pervasive sinfulness of man, all must be regenerated by the power of the Holy Spirit in order to be saved.

We believe that we are justified by the righteousness of Christ alone, through faith, and not by any deeds of our own; and that while good works are inseparable from a true and living faith, they can never be the meritorious ground of salvation before God.

We believe that holiness of life, and love for God, for our fellowmen, and for ourselves, are essential evidences of the Christian character.

We believe that, besides God, no other being is to be worshiped and adored, and that all three persons of the sacred Trinity are worthy of our worship, which, to be acceptable, must be offered through no other mediation than that of Jesus Christ.

We believe that there will be a resurrection of the dead and a day of judgment; and that the happiness of the righteous, and the punishment of the wicked, commence at death, and continue forever.

We believe that any number of true Christians, duly organized, constitute a Church of Christ, of which Christ is the only Head; and that the sacraments of the Church are baptism and communion.

We believe that Christ appointed the preaching of the gospel for the conversion of men and for the instruction of His people, and that it is the duty of His church to carry into effect the Savior’s command, “Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to everyone.”
 

This church recognizes the Holy Bible as the sufficient rule of faith and practice and holds that living in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ is the true test of fellowship. Each member shall have the undisputed right to follow the Word of God according to the dictates of his own conscience under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.

 

 

APOSTLES CREED

 

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

 

 

COVENANT

 

We are united in striving to know the will of God, to understand the teachings of the Holy Scriptures, and to walk in the ways of the Lord. We hold it to be the mission of the Church of Christ to proclaim the gospel to all mankind; to exalt the worship of one true God and to labor for the progress of knowledge, the promotion of justice, the achievement of brotherhood, and the reign of peace. Trusting, as did our fathers in the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, we work and pray for the transformation of the world into the kingdom of God, and we look with faith for the triumph of righteousness and the life everlasting.
