About Us
What We Believe
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 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 the interdenominational fellowship of Christians in worship, study, mission endeavors, and service.
