As the Lord's church, we endeavor to worship God "in spirit and truth" (John 4:24.) Therefore, our worship to God includes...
As the New Testament church our desire is to faithfully uphold God's word that all might know, accept and obey it, The Scriptures teach:
- The Bible is the complete, inerrant and inspired word of God and that it is all-sufficient for the purpose God intended (
2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:21; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
- Followers of Christ are to "contend for the faith," but in so doing, they must exercise love (Jude 3; Ephesians 4:15; John 13:34-35).
- Jesus Christ is the Head of the church and no man has the right to
assume this position (Colossians 1:18; 3:17).
- Jesus Christ built only one church, and his church is non-denominational
in nature. Christian fellowship, therefore, is limited to those in
Christ's church who are walking in the light (Matthew 16:18-19; Ephesians
1:22-23; 4:4; 5:23; Acts 2:41, 47; 1 John 1:7).
- There is no place in the church for the commandments and doctrines
of men (Psalm 127:1; Matthew 15:7-9; 1 Timothy 1:3-4; 4:7).
- Men and women can know the truth, and by adhering to that truth, can
be saved (John 8:32; 17:17; James 1:21).
- Baptism is a burial in water for the forgiveness of sins, and is
therefore necessary for salvation (Romans 6:3-4; Acts 2:38; 1 Peter
3:21).
- The Lord's Supper is to be observed by Christians on the first day
of every week and only on the first day (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians
11:20-29).
- Singing in worship to God is to be done without the addition of
mechanical instruments of music (Ephesians 5:17-19; Colossians 3:16-17).
- Practicing homosexuals, fornicators and adulterers will have no part
in the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
- Abortion is the taking of an innocent life, that is, murder
(Proverbs 6:16-19).
- Marriage is intended to be enjoyed by one man and woman until they
are separated by death. And that the only exception to this
arrangement is outlined in
Matthew 5:32; 19:9, namely, that a fornicator
may be put away by the innocent spouse, thus allowing the innocent spouse
the freedom to contract another marriage. All other divorce and
remarriage situations constitute adulterous unions (Romans 7:1-3).
