We
believe that the Bible is our guide, particularly the New
Testament, which focuses on the life and teachings of
Jesus and His apostles, which forms the basis for our
Christian thought and actions.
We
recognize the principle of self-government for each local
congregation with regional and general bodies serving in
advisory capacities only.
We
observe the Sacrament of the Lord=s Supper or Holy
Communion every Sunday and welcome all Christians from all
denominations to participate.
We
practice the Sacrament of Baptism by immersion, a
New Testament practice recognized as the most adequate
symbol of complete surrender and of the biblical ideal of
death, burial, and resurrection to new life. We accept
transfers of membership through confession and accept
previous forms of baptism practiced by other Christian
communions of faith.
We
participate in and encourage interdenominational
fellowship of Christians in worship, study, mission
endeavors, and service.
People
presenting themselves for membership are asked: Do you
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living
God? and/or Do/Have you accept Jesus as your Personal Lord
and Savior?
