What we believe - continued

6. We believe God created all humans equally in his image. He created them uniquely male and female. (Genesis 1:26-27)

7. We believe the church is a spiritual organism made up of all believers everywhere for all time. (Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 5:25-27, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 2 Corinthians 11:2)

8. We believe the establishment of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament. (Acts 14:27, Acts 18:22, 1 Timothy 3:1-3, Titus 1:5-11)

9. We believe in the autonomy of the local churches and recognize believers' baptism and the Lord's supper. (Acts 13:1-4, Acts 15:19-31, Romans 16:14, 1 Corinthians 3:9, 1 Peter 5:1-4, Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:41, 42, Acts 18:8, 1 Corinthians 11:23-36)

10. We believe that Jesus is returning to Earth to judge all people and to rule and reign with His saints forever. (Revelation 22:12, 2 Timothy 4:1)

In ESSENTIAL beliefs, we have UNITY. In NON-ESSENTIAL beliefs, we have DIVERSITY. In ALL of our beliefs, we promote LOVE.
