The purpose and mission of this church shall be to labor by the help of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit to carry out the great commission of our Lord Jesus Christ as stated in Matt. 28: 18-20, and elsewhere. To this end: Every member shall be urged to take the Gospel of Salvation to the lost, personally and representatively. Converts shall be instructed as to their duty to confess Christ by baptism (immersion in water), and taught in matters of Christian conduct, Bible study, church attendance, personal soul-winning, tithes and offerings, faithfulness to Christ, and any other deemed necessary to their spiritual prosperity and growth.
