PURPOSE
Our chief aim is to glorify our Savior, even Jesus Christ, who
gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;
that we should show forth the praises of Him who hath called us
out of darkness into His marvelous light; and that we may be
blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the
midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom we shine as
lights in the world, holding forth the Word of Life, to give
light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to
guide their feet into the way of peace. (Titus 2:13,14; I Peter
2:9; Philippians 2:15,16; Luke 1:79).
Our duty is to lift the fallen; visit the sick; strengthen the
weak; encourage the faint-hearted; comfort the feeble-minded;
point the lost to the way of salvation and urge all believers to
seek a spirit-filled life (Ephesians 5:18; Acts 19:1-16) and
prepare for the coming of the Lord. (James 1:27; I Thess. 5:4;
Mark 16:15-18; Matthew 25:1-13).
Moreover, it is our indispensable duty, as partakers of the
"royal priesthood" (I Peter 2:9; Rev. 1:6; 5:10), to
offer supplications, prayer, intercessions, and giving thanks for
all men; for kings, presidents, governors, magistrates, and all
that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life
in all Godliness and honesty; (ITimothy 2:14; Romans 13:1-17) and
to submit ourselves "to every ordinance of
man for the Lord's sake", whether it be king, as supreme, or
unto governors, as unto them that are sent by Him for the
punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do
well, so long as these ordinances do not infringe upon the
liberty of service towards God according to the dictation of the
heart or conscience. (I Peter 2:13-17; Titus 3:1-12; Matthew
22:21).
It is our further responsibility to provide training to those who
have been called to the ministry, that they might be able to
apply for the appropriate credentials.
CREED, DISCIPLINE, RULES OF ORDER, AND DOCTRINE
Our Creed, Discipline, Rules of Order, and Doctrine is the Word
of God as taught and revealed by the Holy Ghost. (St. John 14:26;
I Corinthians 2:9-13). "All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for Doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of
God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good
works." (II Timothy 3:16,17).
