THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES 

Christ alone is the head of the church All church members are spiritually equal and called to the work of ministry. Every local church is autonomous and complete. Each local church is called into wider associations of fellowship. Believers are bound to one another in a voluntary covenant. Every Christian possesses full liberty of conscience in interpreting the Gospel The Bible is fully sufficient as our guide in matters of faith and practice and will inspire individuals and direct the church with fresh light and truth for every generation.
