Our Beliefs and Practices

In 1978 the co-workers in the local churches published a booklet entitled The Beliefs and Practices of the Local Churches. This booklet is reproduced on this site in its entirety. Please refer to the booklet's Table of Contents on the left menu.

Our Standing

  • The local churches stand on the Holy Scriptures, not according to any traditional interpretation, but according to the pure Word of God.
     
  • The local churches stand on Christ, the living rock, the foundation stone, the Head of the Body, and the life and reality of the church.
     
  • The local churches stand on the genuine unity of the Body of Christ. We are not sectarian, nor denominational, nor nondenominational, nor interdenominational.
     
  • The local churches stand on the ground of the oneness of all believers in each locality; we recognize all the blood-redeemed and Spirit-regenerated believers in Christ as members of the one church in each city.
