STATEMENT OF FAITH
There is one and only one living and true God.
Faith is of enlightenment and intelligence.
Moreover, the cause of education is co-ordinate with the causes of
missions and general benevolence, and should receive along with these
the liberal support of that which is deemed good and right under the
exacting scrutiny of proper Christian faith and values.
Christians have a spiritual debtorship to the whole world, a
trusteeship, and a binding stewardship in their possessions. They are
therefore under obligation to serve by example with their time, talents,
and material possessions; and should recognize all these as entrusted to
them for helping others. According to the Scriptures, Christians should
contribute of their means cheerfully, regularly, systematically,
proportionately, and liberally for the advancement of that which is
right.
The people should, as occasion requires, organize such associations and
conventions as may best secure cooperation for the advancement of the
Church. Such organizations have no authority over one another. They are
strictly voluntary and advisory bodies designed
to elicit, combine, and direct the energies of our people in the most
effective manner. Members should cooperate with one another in carrying
forward the missionary, educational, and benevolent ministries for the
extension of the ministry and all it represents.
In the spirit of Christ, we should oppose racism, every form of greed,
selfishness, and vice, and all forms of sexual immorality. We should
work to provide for the orphaned, the needy, the abused, the aged, the
helpless, and the sick. Every member should seek to
bring industry, government, and society as a whole under the sway of the
principles of righteousness, truth, and brotherly love. In order to
promote these ends We shall be ready to work with all men of good will
in any good cause, always being careful to act in the spirit of love
without compromise.
Church and state should be separate. The state owes to every church
protection and full freedom in the pursuit of its spiritual ends. In
providing for such freedom no ecclesiastical group or denomination
should be favored by the state more than others. Civil government being
ordained of God, it is our duty to render loyal obedience thereto in all
things not contrary to the revealed will of God. The state has no right
to impose penalties for religious opinions of any kind. The state has no
right to impose taxes for the support of any form of religion.
We are all obligated to do that which is right in whatever form that may
take.
