We believe that a New Testament Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The local body of baptized believers are associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ, being the Lord_s Supper and Baptism by Immersion, committed to His teachings, exercising the gifts, rights and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth.
