Membership:
We believe that the church
is the assembly of those who have accepted God's offer of salvation
through faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that the church of Jesus Christ is
one body with many members, ordered in such a way
that, through the one Spirit, believers may be built together
spiritually into a dwelling place for God.
We believe that Jesus
Christ calls us to discipleship, to take up
our cross and follow him. Through the gift of God's saving grace, we
are empowered to be disciples of Jesus, filled with his Spirit,
following his teachings and his path through suffering to new life.
As we are faithful to his way, we become conformed to Christ and
separated from the evil in the world.
