The Church
There is one true Church, the spiritual body of which Christ is the Head. Regardless of denomination, all those that repent of their sins and put their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are spiritually baptized into the body of Christ as members of His Church.
All members of the Church are called to faithful membership in a visible, local church, in which they devote themselves to worship, prayer, learning the truths of God’s word, fellowship and the observance of water baptism and communion. The local church is God’s chosen instrument for fulfilling the Great Commission – reaching the lost by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, growing them into fully devoted followers of Christ and equipping them to do the work of ministry.
