Our Covenant of Faith: We acknowledge our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and take for our rule of life, His own words: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength," and "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:30-31)
Our Confession of Faith: We believe in God, infinite in wisdom, goodness and love; and in Jesus Christ, God's Son, our Savior, who for us and our salvation lived and died and rose again and lives evermore; and in the Holy Spirit, who takes of the things of Christ and reveals them to us, renewing, comforting, and inspiring the souls of humanity. We are united in striving to know the will of God as taught in the Holy Scriptures, and in our purpose to walk in the ways of Christ, made known or to be made known to us. We hold it to be the mission of the Church of Christ to proclaim the Gospel to all humankind; exalting the worship of the one true God; and laboring for the progress of knowledge, the promotion of justice, the reign of peace, and the realization of human kinship. We depend, as did our ancestors, upon the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth; we work and pray for the transformation of the world into the kingdom of God; and we look with faith for the triumph of righteousness, and the life everlasting. We believe faith is a journey; God is good; Jesus saves, and the Spirit leads us to faith, hope, and love as we honor the dignity of all God’s people.
Our two Sacraments: Baptism - We observe the common practice of infant baptism in which the Christian family dedicates itself to the nurture of its child, in which the Church accepts responsibility for the provision of Christian nurture for the child, and in which God's presence is made known. Baptism for those who are mature is an outer and visible sign of their desire to seek cleansing of life from sin, and, as such, is the usual accompaniment of joining the church. Holy Communion (The Lord's Supper) - The Lord's Supper is observed on a regular basis. By the reverent repetition of the acts and words of the Supper, we are reminded of our Lord's life and death and resurrection, assured of our Lord's spiritual presence, and united in fellowship with Him and our fellow church members. We invite all followers of Jesus to the table.
A Congregational Church is a body of people who have pledged themselves to follow Christ, and who, because they seek to order all of their life and work according to Christ's leading, cannot accept as authoritative the decisions of any other body, since to do so would be to avoid the responsibility of finding God's way in their own right.
