Congregational Church in Dixfield, "Church on the Hill" (NACCC)
Sunday Worship and Children's Sunday School, 10 AM Weekly
Pastor Matt Andrews Sunday Worship Service : 10:00 AM
Children begin worship service with the congregation and are dismissed for Sunday School (ending June 5th for summer) after the children's sermon segment. CONFESSION OF FAITH:
As a community
of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ associated together with the teachings of the New Testament for the public worship of God, for the observances of the Gospel ordinances, and the Sacraments of Baptisms and the Lord’s Supper, for the mutual edification and encouragement of Christian life, and for the
advancement of the Redeemer’s Kingdom on Earth, we declare our union of faith and love with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ. Receiving the Scripture of the Old and New Testament as the Word of God, inspired by God, the rule of faith and practice, we accept the creed known in history as the Apostle’s Creed as the doctrinal
basis of our union. That Creed is as follows:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only begotten Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hades; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended
into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church*, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. (*"Small c" catholic is the global Christian Church: all believers in Jesus Christ)
CHURCH COVENANT:
Believing that we have been led by the Holy Spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, we do now in the presence of God and his congregation, most joyfully enter into covenant with one another as a local and scriptural expression of the true body of Jesus Christ. We, therefore, by the enabling of the Holy Spirit, do commit ourselves to walk together in Christian love, “making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
(Ephesians 4:3-NIV)
To strive for the growth of this Church in the knowledge of God and in true fellowship and compassionate concern for one another; promoting its well-being and spirituality; sustaining its worship,
ordinances, disciplines, and doctrines. To contribute willingly and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the Church, the relief of the poor, and the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
