Fellowship of Connected Churches
Doctrinal Statement
We Believe:
- In one God revealed to us Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- In the diety of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- In His virgin birth, sinless life, powerful miracles, the sacrifice of His vicarious and atoning death.
- In His bodily resurrection, ascension and future return to earth as both Lord and King.
- In the absolute inspiration of Holy Scripture.
- That justification is by grace through faith in our Lord's sacrifical death on the cross.
- That every convert is to be water baptized.
- That baptism of the Holy Spirit is an endowment of power available to every Christian at or subsequent to conversion. As a result, spiritual gifts should be manifest with balance and guidance from the local church ministry.
- That the church is God's highest institution on the earth.
The message and mission of the church is "the gospel of the Kingdom," which simply means the "rule" of God. Our responsibility then is to enforce the victory of God over every dark and godless influence, until King Jesus returns. - In God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen
