WPC: about us

We believe and bear witness to the truth that all power in heaven and earth is given to Jesus Christ by Almighty God, who raised Jesus Christ from the dead and set Him above all rule and authority, all power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

We believe and bear witness to the truth that God has put all things under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and has made Christ Head of the Church, which is His body.

We believe and bear witness to the truth that Christ calls the Church into being, giving it all that is necessary for its mission to the world, for its building up, and for its service to God.

We believe and bear witness to the truth that Jesus Christ is present with the Church in both Spirit and Word. It belongs to Jesus Christ alone to rule, to teach, to call, and to use the Church as He wills, exercising His authority by the ministry of women and men for the establishment and extension of His Kingdom from our neighborhood to the ends of the earth.

We believe and bear witness to the truth that Jesus Christ gives to His Church its faith and life, its unity and mission, its officers and ordinances. Insofar as Jesus Christ's will for the Church is set forth in Scripture, it is to be obeyed. In the worship and service of God and the government of the church, matters are to be ordered according to the Word by reason and sound judgment, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

In affirming with the earliest Christians that Jesus is Lord, the Church confesses that He is its hope and that the Church, as Christ's body, is bound to His authority and thus free to live in the lively, joyous reality of the grace of God.
