1. Restoration Church
Our message is that “Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.” We require no other
creed. He alone is Lord and Savior.
2. Church Belonging to Christ
The church belongs to Him. We have no authority to change the teachings, rewrite the rules, alter membership requirements, or usurp His place. The church is not a democracy.
3. Church Seeking Unity
Members of this church seek to be one in Christ with all others He calls His own.
4. Church Built on the Teachings of the Apostles
The church, Eph. 2:20 states, is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone.” Whatever we know about Christ and the church we learned from Jesus’ closest companions, the Apostles.
5. Thinking Church
In the same Ephesian Letter, Paul prays that God will give a “Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.” Christian faith demands the best our minds can give, so we are a studying church, seeking to apply biblical truth intelligently.
6. Sharing Church
We share our faith and love with as many as we can reach and our possessions as persons who know that everything we have belongs to God to be used for His purposes.
7. Free Church
Jesus is the Head of the church. We have no bishops or superintendents or national headquarters to determine local church policies. We select & appoint our own elders and call and support our own elder/pastors, and decide where our mission money will go. We are not isolationists though. Our congregation believes that we should freely associate with other parts of the body to accomplish tasks too big for one church alone.
8. Growing Church
We want to grow, because we are under Christ’s commission to disciple the world. We haven’t completed the task yet, so we believe that thriving and healthy churches are renewing their commitment to go unto the ends of the earth, preaching and baptizing until the whole world knows the one Lord of all.
