We believe that the Church consists of all Christians with Christ as the head (Acts 2:47, Ephesians 1:22-23). We believe that the purpose of the Church is to glorify God by drawing together all who will believe in Jesus Christ as Savior, through world-wide proclamation of the Word of God and by building up each Christian so that he becomes progressively Christ-like (Ephesians 4:7, 11-16; Romans 8:29-30). We believe each Christian has at least one specific capability given by the Holy Spirit and one or more specific positions of service by God. Each capability and position is necessary for fulfilling the purpose of the Church (l Corinthians 12:4-6, 11-12, 18-27; Romans 12:3-8). We believe that groups of local Christians should meet together regularly for worship, study, service and fellowship (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25).
