What We Believe
About the Father, Son and Holy Spirit...
We believe in and we surrender our lives to the one God who made the heavens and earth and who breathed life into humanity. We worship and praise the Father who spoke the world into existence (Genesis 1:1). We worship and praise Jesus, the Son, who died upon the cross to redeem us from sin (Luke 23:44-46). We worship and praise the Holy Spirit who is the seal of our salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14).​
About the Gospel…
Jesus Christ, the son of God, lived his life on Earth to show God's love to humanity which ultimately was shown through his sacrifice on the cross for our sins. We believe also in the resurrection of Jesus on the third day and that through God's mercy and grace we can share in a resurrection like Christ's if we believe in His gospel message and are baptized. Now our mission is to share in the spreading of the gospel all throughout the world. (Romans 6:5, Acts 2:22-38, Matthew 28:19-20)
About Conversion…
​Our conversion begins by a belief in Jesus as God’s Son, and in his death and resurrection from the dead. Next comes an unmistakable repentance of sin, embracing discipleship, a confession of “Jesus is Lord”, and leads to the miracle of rebirth with our immersion in water for the forgiveness of our sins and the promise that God will give us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Following a daily decision to deny self to Christ's Lordship in our lives. (John 20:31, Luke 14:25-33, Acts 2:38-41, Romans 10:9, Titus 3:3-5, Luke 9:23ff; 14:33, Romans 2:7, Hebrews 10:32-39).
About Membership...
Membership in our congregation constitutes baptized disciples (1Cor 12:12-13), men and women who have pledged to live their lives as saints of God in the holiness He requires. Our members agree to strive to be devoted to the body life of the church. This includes making whole-hearted efforts, for example, to attend each [applicable] meeting of the body and to pursue joyful and growing “one another” relationships (Romans 12:10, Hebrews 3:12-13; 10:24-25). Fellowship is not limited to the local congregation (Romans 12:5, 1 Corinthians 7:17, 10:32, 14:33, 16:1; 1 Thessalonians 2:14; 2 Thessalonians 1:4); the Worcester County Church of Christ works cooperatively with churches throughout the International Churches of Christ.
