We believe that a Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is one who stands firm in the doctrine of Christ and His Apostles. She spreads the gospel of the finished work of Christ. She prays for the Lord to send laborers into His fields, which are white already unto harvest. She ordains men who have given abundant evidence of an ordination of God to preach His gospel in demonstration of the Spirit and the power thereof, who meet the qualifications of a bishop given in the Holy Scripture and that is in fellowship with her. She administers believer’s baptism by such a minister totally immersing the subject in water only after evidence of repentance and public profession of faith in Christ. She observes the Lord’s Supper, the taking of unleavened bread and wine as emblems of Christ broken body and His shed blood, administered by a regularly ordained minister, accompanied by washing of the saint’s feet. She visits the fatherless and the widows in their afflictions and keeps herself unspotted from the world. She assembles for public worship at least one time each week. She seeks the kingdom of God and His righteousness. She prays for this kingdom to come to her. She expresses love to her Great High Priest by giving lovingly and freely of her material means through His church for the spreading of the gospel to help the poor and the expenses of a meeting place. She prays always with all supplication and thanksgiving making her request known unto God.
