The Church

The Church was ordained and established by our Lord as a local, visible, assembly of baptized believers who observe the ordinances of Christ and continue steadfastly in right doctrine, fellowship, and prayer. Its government is autonomous having two offices, Pastor (Bishop, Elder), and Deacon. Christ is the head of the church, and the Bible is its final authority.

Christ is The Head

Matthew 16:18 KJV 1900

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Ephesians 5:23 KJV 1900

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Congregating for a Purpose

Acts 2:42 KJV 1900

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Continued for Centuries Supernaturally

Matthew 16:18 KJV 1900

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
