The
Church Defined
OF A GOSPEL CHURCH
- We
believe that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of
baptized believers associated by covenant in the faith and
fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by his laws; and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges
invested in them by his word; that its only Scriptural
officers are bishops, or pastors, and deacons, whose
qualifications, claims, and duties are defined in the
epistles of Timothy and Titus.
