📖 Growing in Christ through biblical teaching, heartfelt worship, prayer, and Christian fellowship.
🤝 Everyone is Welcome! The Bible is inspired and preserved by God and carries His absolute authority. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
• AUTONOMY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH: Each church is autonomous, or self-governin
g, and contains all human authority for leadership within its congregation. No denomination, governmental body, or religious hierarchy may dictate the church’s beliefs or practices. (Colossians 1:18; Matthew 18:15-20; 2 Corinthians 8:1-5, 19, 23)
• PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER: All born-again believers have the privilege of direct access to God through Jesus Christ. We need no other human agent or spiritual mediator. As God’s priests, we can study His Word, pray for our needs, intercede for others, offer worship, and serve in His work. (1 Timothy 2:1-6; 1 Peter 2:5,9)
• TWO ORDINANCES: 1. Baptism of believers by immersion in water symbolizes sincere faith in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection with the desire to walk in newness of life. 2. The Lord’s Supper, or Communion, commemorates Christ’s broken body and shed blood giving each believer an opportunity for self-examination and rededication. (Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 6:4; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32)
• INDIVIDUAL SOUL LIBERTY: Every individual, believer and unbeliever, possesses the God-given privilege of free will having the liberty to choose what to believe. God speaks to individuals through His Word and His Spirit. Every person is individually responsible to God and will be judged according to the beliefs and practices he or she freely chooses. (John 3:36; Romans 14:4-12; 2 Corinthians 4:2; Titus 1:9)
• SAVED, BAPTIZED CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Local church membership is restricted to individuals who give a believable testimony of personal faith in Christ and have publicly identified with Him in believer’s baptism. (Acts 2:41-47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-18; Hebrews 10:23-25)
• TWO OFFICES: Scripture commands two offices for the local church. The pastor leads, feeds, guides, and guards the church at the direction of Christ. The Bible terms “pastor,” “elder,” and “bishop” refer to different responsibilities for the same office. Deacons help the pastor care for the flock so he can give priority to prayer and the ministry of the Word. The Bible gives qualifications for each office. (1 Timothy 3:1-13; Acts 6:1-7)
