The Church. We believe that the true church comprises all who have been justified by God's grace through faith alone in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, of which He is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be composed only of believers. The ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ mandated two ordinances - baptism and the Lord's Supper, which visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith, these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer.
The Church. We believe that all who are united to the risen and ascended ▇▇▇▇▇▇ are members of His Church regardless of denominational affiliation.

We believe that the local church is the primary instrument of God in the world today for the purpose of Biblical teaching, corporate worship, encouragement, fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and missions. Christians should make a commitment to a local church where they can be spiritually fed, connect with other ministries, and practice Biblical stewardship.

The Church. We believe that the church is God’s household and is the body of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is the Head of the church. The universal church is made up of all born again believers. The local church is the gathering of believers in different localities for witness, worship, fellowship, discipleship, service, caring and the observance of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
