Fellowship of Connected Churches Doctrinal Statement

We Believe:
- In� one God revealed to us Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- In the diety of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- In His virgin birth, sinless life, powerful miracles, the sacrifice of�� His vicarious� and atoning death.
- In His bodily resurrection, ascension and future return to earth��� as both Lord and King.
- In the absolute inspiration of Holy Scripture.
- That justification is by grace through faith in our Lord's sacrifical death on the cross.
- That every convert is to be water baptized.
- That baptism of the Holy Spirit is an endowment of power available to every Christian at or subsequent to conversion. As a result, spiritual gifts should be manifest with balance and guidance from the local church ministry.
- That the church is God's highest institution on the earth.
The message and mission of the church is "the gospel of the Kingdom," which simply means the "rule" of God.� Our responsibility then is to enforce the victory of God over every dark and godless influence, until King Jesus returns.
- In God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.� And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.� We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen
