Purpose:

The avowed purpose of this Church shall be to promote the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom in the world. It shall therefore, seek to worship God, celebrate the Sacraments, preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, mutually encourage its members in consistent Christian living, provide Christian Education, and obey its missionary mandate. This Church welcomes into its fellowship all persons who know or seek to know the love of God, and who live by the spirit and teachings of Jesus. We respect the honest faith of all, and seek only to embrace within our love and fellowship all who would live to the glory of God.

Church Covenant:

The Covenant by which this Church exist as a distinct body is as follows:

Recognizing the privilege and duty of uniting ourselves for Christian Fellowship, the public worship of God, and the advancement of His Kingdom in the world, we solemnly covenant and agree with one another to associate ourselves to be a Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. We devoutly acknowledge our dependence upon God, the Father Almighty, and hereby confess our faith in Him and in His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Relying upon the Holy Spirit who creates and renews the Church, we promise to follow Christ, to labor together for the coming of His Kingdom and, as much as in us lies, we walk in love with one another and with all men.

Statement of Faith:

We affirm that the scriptures are the inspired Word of God, our final authority in matters of faith and conduct.

We affirm that salvation is by personal faith and trust in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and acceptance of His atonement for our sins on the Cross.

We affirm the Apostles' Creed as a clear statement of the historic Christian faith, which says:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 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.

Amen.
