An Open Bible Congregational Christians stand for an open Bible in the fullest sense; a Bible that is open in our churches, in our homes, in our schools; open to be read in our own language with all the insight that reverent study, prayerful meditation, and Christian living can bring to bear upon it. We believe that the Bible contains rich spiritual guidance for every person and for every family and that devotional reading and study of the Scriptures in the home will foster inner unity and outer strength. It is our conviction that the Word of God, which is to be found in the Bible, will inspire and direct the Church and will yield fresh light and truth for each new age. We cherish the aim that each person shall be able to read and interpret the Bible for himself and trust, confidence and affection, and that he shall be able to experience its power to build him up into a strong, courageous, and intelligent follower of Jesus Christ.
