THE CHURCH!!!

We believe Christians are people who believe not only in God the Father but in Jesus Christ as His Son and the Way to everlasting life. We believe the church is the people not the place. We believe that the church is the spiritual body of which Christ is the head and is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. This body expresses itself in local assemblies whose members have been immersed upon a credible confession of faith and have associated themselves for worship, instruction, evangelism, and service. The ordinances of the local church are believers' baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper. We also believe in the interdependence of local churches and the mutual submission of Christians to each other in love. We believe Christians make a community of people no matter their religious affiliation. We believe in non-denominational Outdoor Ministry as a tool to facilitate people of all ages to experience spiritual discovery, growth and renewal in their personal relationship with the Holy Trinity. We believe Outdoor Ministry provides unique opporutnities for the community of Christ to nurture a deeper love of Christ in love, support and comfort for one another through meaningful relationships, develop Christian leadership and practice stewardship of God's Creation. We believe that local Christian communities help to further knowledge, understanding, and support for spiritual growth and personal relationsips with the Holy Trinity with or without a formal setting. In fact, we believe that God's Creation often times serves as a better cathedral in which to worship.
Romans 12:4-5; 4.For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5. so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
