Who We Are
What is a “Congregational” Church?
“Congregational” basically means that each church government is self-governing. Although we are self-governing as a church body, we are affiliated with other congregational churches through the United Church of Christ (UCC). Our Pastor Matthew Reed holds ministerial license with the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference.
What we Believe
- We believe the Bible consisting of the Old and New Testament, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God written.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling power and fullness the Christian is enabled to live a godly life in this present evil world.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Christ.
Our Church’s Covenant
“Confessing faith in God, our heavenly Father, and in Jesus Christ our Savior, and being willing to be guided by the Holy Spirit, we promise as members of this church to walk together as Christian Brothers and Sisters, obedient to God’s revealed and living Word, to worship, work, and serve together that we may express through our church and our individual lives, the love and faith taught by Jesus Christ.” (from the Church Constitution)
